Reparations, Loving Your Black Neighbor, and the Work of Healing the Wounds of Antiblackness. This talk will expand and transform how people think about reparations, using Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan as a paradigm-shifting lens. We’ll explore the multi-layered work of reparations, but with a foundation rooted in the call to genuinely love Black people by pursuing their collective healing, wellbeing, and thriving. The event is co-sponsored by the Center for Studying Structures of Race, the Roanoke Reparations Group, and the Central Church of the Brethren.
