This is a Virtual Event.
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 the Center for Social Solutions and the U-M Detroit Center for a panel discussion—moderated by Ford School Professor Earl Lewis—as they explore the varying concepts of what is owed and what reparations might look like as they 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.
