The American Descendants of Slavery ( ADOS ) About American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) was founded by Yvette Carnell, a graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C. and attorney and Emmy nominated documentarian Antonio Moore, a graduate of UCLA. It was formed to reclaim and restore the national character of African American identity, and the group's experience of being enslaved in America (USA). It uses YouTube and Twitter to promote reparations in the United States. ADOS supporters see reparations as a way to address the wealth gaps in the United States of America due to slavery and the systemic discrimination of African Americans that followed and continues into the present. [1] ADOS posits that a debt is owed African Americans due to 400 years of slavery in the U.S. and the wide range of damages that has been done to African Americans creating a national dialogue that has entered into the mainstream media.
