Have you wished you understood more about what it could mean for the United States to make reparations to the descendants of enslaved persons? To really make amends for the untold sufferings of their ancestors, with whose blood and toil our nation was built? To make amends for years, decades, centuries of economic, social, educational, medical, housing, legal and citizenship injustice, all still ongoing?

Have you wished you could be an ally in bringing about that reparative justice, but just didn’t know where to start?

Well, here’s a great place: Beginning on September 24, brought to you by Admiral Church, is this 8-session Zoom education and action series:

WA: REPARATIONS is a series of eight Thursday evening Zoom sessions from 6-7:00 pm. Each evening will be led by experts on this topic and will include personal testimony and interactive action planning, as well as education. Here are the subjects for these sessions:

Sep 24 Foundations: How the System was built; implications for WA State.

Oct 1 Bondage, de facto bondage, employment and work conditions.

Oct 8 Land: The promise, the reversal, the subsidy.

Oct 15 Housing in WA: Covenants, redlining and displacement. Oct 22 Health, medical exploitation and the health gap.

Oct 29 Citizenship: Schools, the ballot and the call.

Nov 5 Reparations and reparative justice on the way.

Nov 12 Wayfinding forward.

Leaders include Rev Elizabeth Gordon, Michael Gordon, Rev Craig Rennebohm and Rev Jermell Witherspoon.

The sessions are free, though registration is requested, to enable break-out planning. Please see the admiral.church website.

Two books can be read, at recommendation of the course leaders, as background: : “From Here to Equality” by William Darity; “Getting to Reparations” by Dorothy Brown. The books are not required, however, and you can still get a lot out of these sessions, even if you have not had time to read them yet.
