Is this sentence phrased properly? I wasn't sure about "repair".


'Granting the citizens their just rights is a repair of a long-lasting historical evil'
 
I would remove the word just and rephrase it a little, so it would look like this:

Granting the citizens their rights will repair the long-lasting historical evil.
 
I accept your correction. Thank you very much!
 
Not a teacher.

"Redress" in a better word than "repair."
