The purpose of the Uncovering History: Walking the Path of Repair program is to bring African Americans together with European Americans to study erased history, understand the historical basis for the current racial wealth gap, and deconstruct the bootstrap and meritocracy arguments. In addition, we hope to facilitate a change in European Americans’ attitudes, replacing the passive understanding of history with a sense of personal accountability and responsibility for righting the wrongs of the past. Finally, we hope to build support for the movement for reparations. It is our hope that this program brings about racial healing through the fulfillment of justice.
The program is offered on-line as a self-study opportunity; each curriculum was beta-tested in 2021 and 2022 with multiple cohorts of reparationists.
