Housing and the Racial Wealth Gap Workshop + Fundraiser

Reparations4Slavery’s Lotte Lieb Dula and Reparation Generation’s Karen Hughes will lead a workshop exploring the role of housing in the racial wealth gap. They will provide meaning and context to the systematic exclusion of many Black Americans from the intergenerational wealth-building opportunities that homeownership provides. In this workshop, we’ll explore the mechanisms creating the gap using our own childhood neighborhoods as the starting point for research, introspection, and discussion.

This 2 ½-hour workshop includes a lecture, video, two-person mini-research projects, small breakout groups, and a moderated group discussion.

Note: This virtual, fast-paced workshop is designed for white participants who recognize the long-standing social and economic advantages they’ve inherited in a racially unequal system—and who are committed to taking meaningful steps toward repair.

Space is limited and you must register to attend. 

To participate in this program, attendees must make a reparative pledge prior to the workshop. Your pledge should be a meaningful reparative payment, which you decide, but not less than the minimum pledge of $1,000. Pledges are due by the end of the course. All pledges from this workshop will be invested in the direct reparative wealth transfers of Reparation Generation’s Home Ownership Reparative (HORT) 3.0. We are looking to provide $50,000 in reparative wealth transfers from this workshop. You can make your contribution here.
