The Case for Reparations is a national and global movement for people of African descent—enslaved Africans and their descendants globally. Reparatory justice is also needed for descendants of Indigenous peoples including Native Americans, Latin Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders/Hawaiians whose legacies include, genocide, theft of land, the denial of legal and human rights, and forced labor to build the wealth of Europe and U.S. territories. During this digital program, we will introduce a new learning platform engaging the denomination in "An Interactive Educational Study Guide on Reparatory Justice and Reparations for the Christian Church in the 21st Century."
