Reparations: a Path to Healing -- an Interactive Writers & Readers Workshop
Once we know how much damage has been done, how do we begin to move forward and heal? YWCA Greater Cleveland’s President & CEO Margaret Mitchell believes that reparations is a key piece of the answer. Join this discussion about the long history of reparations, how some communities have already implemented reparations on a smaller scale, the landmark piece of legislation, House Bill 40, which, if passed, would establish a federal commission to study and develop reparations proposals and begin a national reckoning and a path towards restorative justice.
