LEARN ABOUT REPARATIVE GENEALOGY
Genealogy, in general, and lineage societies, in particular, have long been used to keep Black and white communities apart. Reparative genealogy aims to bring Black and white people together to better understand our shared history of enslavement and the wounds of the past that have resulted in today's 10:1 racial wealth gap.
As we begin to discover the pain and suffering our collective enslaver ancestors have caused and our own complicity in upholding institutional racism, by extension, we may become overwhelmed with feelings of shame, guilt, remorse, or even anger.
The whitewashing and erasure of our common history is damaging to Black and white people alike. To fully participate in the movement for reparations, it is important that white families revisit and relearn our common history framed through a racial justice lens. Learn about your region's erased history and deepen your commitment to repair.
For over one thousand years, our white ancestors lived under the brutal conditions of continuous warfare and violence, ultimately creating a society in which slavery was ubiquitous and public torture was considered sport. In order to heal from white supremacy, we must understand the roots of the trauma that created it.
