Question: A study by Duke University estimated that reparations could inject up to $10 trillion (about $31,000 per person in the US) (about $31,000 per person in the US) into the US economy over 10 years, boosting wages and creating jobs. This economic stimulus could benefit not only Black Americans,[review rule on using commas to connect independent clauses with a conjunction; is a comma needed] but also the entire country, providing a much-needed boost after years of economic inequality and racial injustice.
You're correct! A comma is needed before the coordinating conjunction "but" to connect the independent clauses. So the sentence should read: "This economic stimulus could benefit not only Black Americans, but also the entire country, providing a much-needed boost after years of economic inequality and racial injustice." Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
