Redress

Does "to redress" in this context mean "to correct"

Context:

One print features carefully rendered likenesses of two young people, one male and one female, framed by the dates “1619” and “19??.” These sensitive portraits point not only to the continuity of prejudice and racism, but also to the inherent humanity of those individuals in history who were, because of the institution of slavery, tragically deprived of their own individuality and dignity. White inserts the letter “X” at the composition’s lower vertical axis, a reference to Malcolm X’s powerful statement in rejecting his own surname, an action that had to do with another dehumanizing legacy of slavery: the practice of the renaming of slaves with the slave-owner’s name and the resulting erasure of identity of African Americans. Again White uses his art to redress the injustice of history toward Africans and those of African descent.
