You Can Keep the Mule: Let's Explore Reparations Models
Dr. Earl Lewis
Reparations is a topic that stirs up a lot of opinions on what the United States owes the descendants of enslaved Africans. Does it owe land? Money? Free college? Does it owe anything at all? Join us for a panel discussion as we explore the varying concepts of what is owed and what reparations might look like as we discuss the Crafting Democratic Futures project. Housed in the U-M Center for Social Solutions, Crafting Democratic Futures aims to tackle the complex histories surrounding race by working with colleges and universities around the country to develop suggestions for research-informed, community-engaged racial reparations solutions.
