  • The Reparations Project

    THE REPARATIONS PROJECT: THE REPARATIONS PROJECT CREATES NEW MODELS FOR INDIVIDUALS, DESCENDANT- FAMILIES, AND THE NATION TO REPAIR RACIALIZED INJUSTICE AGAINST BLACK/AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT BEGAN IN 1619 AND CONTINUES TODAY. THE REPARATIONS PROJECT IS A MULTIFACETED REDRESS INITIATIVE THAT SEEKS TO NARROW THE WEALTH GAP AND PROMOTE EQUITY BY CENTERING DESCENDANTS OF THOSE WHO WERE ENSLAVED AND SUPPORTING DESCENDANT FAMILIES OF ENSLAVERS TO PURSUE ANCESTRAL HEALING THROUGH REPAIRING GENERATIONAL HARM. INVESTING IN EDUCATION: THROUGH OUR QUARTERMAN & KELLER SOCIAL JUSTICE SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL LITERACY ACADEMY, WE INVEST IN BLACK/A-A STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE EDUCATION THAT ENGAGE LOCAL COMMUNITIES WHERE LARGE NUMBERS OF ANCESTORS OF THE ENSLAVED LIVE. RECRUIT FOR LEGAL LAND REDRESS: WE RECRUIT ATTORNEYS AND TITLE COMPANIES TO ASSIST DESCENDANTS OF THE ENSLAVED WITH HEIRS PROPERTY CHALLENGES IN ORDER TO PRESERVE AND STRENGTHEN BLACK/A-A LAND OWNERSHIP AND GENERATIONAL WEALTH. WE ALSO PARTNER WITH SCHOLARS AND LOCAL ACTIVISTS TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE SACRED SPACES FOR EDUCATION AND HEALING. AMPLIFYING DESCENDANT VOICES: WE BELIEVE TRUTH TELLING AND AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE KEY TO OUR NATION'S HEALING AND REPAIR. WE ASSIST DESCENDANT-FAMILIES OF THE ENSLAVED AND OF ENSLAVERS IN RECONCILIATION, AND AMPLIFY THEIR STORIES THROUGH NARRATIVE, OUR CURATED DIGITAL PUBLICATION AND NEWSLETTER.
