Join Brooklyn Org and the Center for Brooklyn History at Brooklyn Public
Library on Wednesday, February 19th for a
conversation on the NY State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies,
and their work to examine the legacy of slavery, subsequent discrimination
against people of African descent, and the impact these forces continue to have
in the present day.
You’ll
hear from two of the nine commissioners, Lurie Daniel Favors, civil
rights attorney and advocate for racial justice, and Darrick Hamilton,
economist and scholar in racial equity, along with State Senator James
Sanders, a co-sponsor and key advocate for this legislation. The panel, the
second in our Just Conversations series on reparations, will discuss the
commission’s work, its policy implications, and the potential for meaningful
change in New York’s reparations efforts. Aria Florent, CEO of Liberation
Ventures, moderates.
