Zoom: The Saint Paul Recovery Act Reparations Book Group
April 21, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm CDT
Event Navigation
We will meet on the third Tuesday evenings of each month, 6:30-8PM. Please email [email protected] for Zoom information.
We will start with the classic text The Debt.
Copies of the book will be available at Subtext Bookstore, 6 West Fifth Street, downtown St. Paul.
The St. Paul City Council is considering a “Recovery Act,” to promote equity and racial justice. Grassroots organizations such as Black Saint Paul, Black Truce, Black Lives Matter Minnesota, and the Green Party of the United States Reparations Working Group are becoming educated about these concepts and seeking to broaden and deepen local conversations. A Reparations Book Group is part of this process, and a series of public presentations, to begin in March at ESFL, will be another part. Join us in celebrating Black History Month 2020 by following the message of the sankofa bird—to learn by looking backward while setting out to fly forward. Discussion of reparations is a great way to begin. Join us!
Free and open to all
