Affirmative Action and Reparations may be some of the most frightening outcomes of being honest racism and the extent to which it has been embedded in the United States from its origin. 

We’ve built skills for feeling and thinking and hearing. In this practice session we apply those skills to discuss affirmative action and reparations. We reflect on our experiences with See No Stranger, Unsettling Truths, and A People’s History to ask, “what can we do to right the wrongs of the past?” And whether we can right them, do we even want to? These are hard questions and the path to a world where everyone thrives passes directly through our answers.
