Join us as we virtually convene one of the first national conferences to explore reparations for Black Americans beyond the slave trade. Through this conference, The Black Massacre Project pulls together nationally known scholars, lawyers, activists, policymakers, and massacre descendants to

• increase awareness around America’s history of black massacres and other state sanctioned violence against Black communities,
• discuss the existing tools and emerging practices to preserve artifacts and evidence related to race massacres and violence,
• examine a legal and legislative strategies for a path forward for reparations for historical race massacres.
