Library

Ready to learn more? Your reparations library awaits.

Each of us must take responsibility for learning the many facets of American history that have been omitted from school curricula nationwide.  Use this library to broaden your perspective, fill in missing information, become familiar with perspectives that differ from those of our white peers, and begin the process of reckoning and racial healing..

"Only by acknowledging the full extent of slavery's grip on U.S. Society - its intimate connections to present day wealth and power, the depth of its injury to black Americans, the shocking nearness in time of its true end - can we reconcile the paradoxes of current American life.”

Douglas A. Blackmon
