In the US, who gets compensated when the government wrongs them?

Description
It's Juneteenth – the holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. 

The team at NPR's Code Switch team has been looking at a question tied to this day: Who actually gets compensated when the government wrongs them?

NPR's Gene Demby joins host Ailsa Chang to discuss that question -- and how the Trump administration's 'anti-weaponization fund' is connected to it.
