The concept of reparations as a means to address long-standing social and racial injustice is currently a “hot topic”. House Resolution 40, which proposes a national commission to study reparations, has its best chance of passage since it was first submitted to Congress in 1988. Reparations is the subject of the May cover story in The Atlantic. The ACLU has made reparations a major focus. Our June CDP Conversation will explore the question of reparations through a personal lens.  How is each of us involved?

Below are some resources you may find informative in advance of the conversation:

ACLU Priority: https://www.aclu.org/issues/racial-justice
“The authors of the Declaration of Independence outlined a bold vision for America: a nation in which there would be equal justice for all. More than two hundred years later, it has yet to be achieved.  Though generations of civil rights activism have led to important gains in legal, political, social, educational, and other spheres, the forced removal of indigenous peoples and the institution of slavery marked the beginnings of a system of racial injustice from which our country has yet to break free.”
