The Reparative Justice Research Group (RJRG) is currently
partnering with the Washtenaw County Advisory Council on Reparations to
undertake research and document the role of county government in racial
injustice, as well as the historic and ongoing harms experienced by African
Americans in Washtenaw County from multiple disciplinary perspectives.
Join University of Michigan students and faculty from the
RJRG as they showcase research projects in
history, political science, education, climate science, public policy, and
social work. The projects collectively offer a more complex and wide-ranging
view of historical and present-day systemic harms to Black residents in
Washtenaw County and point the way to potential pathways for repair, justice,
and opportunity today and in the future.
