The African Diaspora has a shared struggle to live free from violence and colonization. Centuries of unrelenting exploitation and harm require a substantive conversation on reparative acts from state and corporate entities, which have contributed to this violence and accumulated massive capital and economic gain. This conversation will seek to explore the efforts to redress these harms and expand the discourse around what reparative relief looks like in our current context.
