invite you to a presentation and conversation
“The Saint Paul Recovery Act and Rondo: Just One Case for Reparations in Saint Paul”
featuring longtime Rondo residents and community activists
Tuesday, March 14, 2023, 6:30-8pm
The St. Paul conversation about reparations has reached a new stage. The City Council has invited applications for appointment to the Saint Paul Recovery Act Permanent Commission (applications close on March 24). The city’s reparations website is at <stpaul.gov/reparations>
Conversations co-hosted by ESFL and the Recovery Act Reading Group over the past three years have helped set the stage for this significant step. Join us for this important event:
We’ll hear from longtime Rondo residents and community activists Nieeta Pressley, Russell Balinger, and Nathaniel Khaliq, along with City Councilperson Jane Prince. This conversation will be facilitated by Trahern Crews. In preparation for the conversation, we encourage you to read: “Rondo Neighborhood,” and “From Ashes to Asphalt: St. Paul’s Systematic Destruction of Black Neighborhoods” and watch this YouTube video: “Remembering St. Paul’s African-American Neighborhood.”
