The Case for Reparations in the United States

This program examines the historical, moral, and economic arguments for reparations in the United States. It traces the legacy of chattel slavery, Jim Crow laws, and systemic disinvestment in Black communities to understand the ongoing racial wealth gap. Participants will explore theological frameworks for restorative justice and evaluate contemporary legislative proposals at local and federal levels. The curriculum provides a factual analysis of the legal precedents and social movements driving the current call for redress and national healing.
