Remembrance without repair is not justice. On August 23, we honor the resistance to the transatlantic slave trade, as well as the birth of the Haitian revolution—and recommit to the work of reparations. Memory matters. But closing the wealth gap takes action. www.unesco.org/en/days/slav...

The President wants to erase the telling of our history at the Smithsonian. This undermines a key component #reparations, Reckoning. As Leah Wright Rigeur shares, “ it tells a story that is very much about a quest for democracy and the way that Americans built this country.”

Black August is an opportunity to learn the history, achievements, and lessons of Black abolitionists and civil rights leaders. We affirm that reckoning and #reparations are the truest path to freedom and equity for generations to come. Thanks @getfree-mvmt.bsky.social for the education.

Today, we recognize what would have been the 84th birthday of #EmmettTill. Emmett's tragic death launched a movement. But he should be alive today. If we are to move forward and create a nation where that truly embodies the value of freedom, we must recognize and repair the harms of the past.

We’re still dreaming about the 3 days of strategic thinking and restoration we spent with 130 #reparations leaders last May in Cali. Baldwin's words from 1963 guide us: we must "achieve our country"-not the one that exists, but the one that must become. Grateful for this community. #ReparationsNow
