Join BWC’s Acting for Racial and Economic Justice (AFREJ) Committee and the Reparations Interfaith Coalition as we learn about actions local citizens can take in response to the UN’s and National African American Reparations Commission’s call to make repair by acknowledging historical harms done to African Americans and by memorializing their contributions.

Brookline activists Anne Greenwald and Deborah Brown, and Cambridge activist Paula Paris, will describe the actions they took with their communities to reclaim public spaces that had historically commemorated enslavers but now honor the memories of Florida Ruffin Ridley (Brookline) and Darby Vassall (Cambridge).

These stories that unearth hidden histories will inspire us as reparationists to truth-tell, advocate for, and succeed in reclaiming public spaces.
