The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice will host a Let’s Talk About Reparations discussion at its virtual town hall meeting from 7-8:30 p.m. Nov. 15.

SDARJ and the YWCA-DE Racial and Social Justice Program are collaborating on a two-part discussion of reparations, focusing on the harm resulting from slavery in the United States. In common usage, the term “reparations” refers to the act or process of making amends for a wrong.

Part 1 will center on the YWCA-DE’s pre-recorded program Let’s Talk About Reparations, moderated by Becca Cotto, director of the YWCA-DE’s Racial and Social Justice program.

The recording features Eugene Young, former executive director of the Metropolitan Urban League of Wilmington; Javonne Rich, ACLU DE policy and advocacy director; and Logan Herring, CEO of the WRK Group, a collective of three nonprofits revitalizing the Riverside and Northeast Wilmington neighborhoods.

Part 2 will be held Tuesday, Dec. 13, with a live panel discussion of practical approaches to reparations and opportunities for the audience to share their thoughts and ideas on the issue.
