To dismantle systems of racialized extraction, we must first name the harm — collectively, historically, and intimately. Repair cannot happen in abstraction.
Repair requires Black families to trace the legacies of survival, resistance, and dispossession. It demands that white families investigate how wealth, land, and opportunity were accumulated through stolen labor and enforced exclusion. The legacies of slavery and Jim Crow persist — present in every policy, neighborhood, and net worth disparity. Transformation begins when we confront how these structures live within us, our families, and the places we call home.
