On this weekend honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we’ll imagine the possibilities, explore some ideas, and maybe even debunk some stereotypes.

Rev. Suzelle Lynch with
Ruben Piirainen, Music Director
Reparations are broadly understood as compensation given for an abuse or injury. Even more so, they are a process of repairing, healing and restoring a people injured because of their group identity and in violation of their fundamental human rights. They are a demand for justice and a principle of international human rights law. But beyond advocating for large-scale reparations enacted by government, we, too, can be part of making reparations.
