Reparations4Slavery’s Lotte Lieb Dula and Reparation Generation’s Karen Hughes will lead a workshop that will explore the role of housing in the racial wealth gap. They will provide meaning and context to the systematic exclusion of many Black Americans from the intergenerational wealth-building opportunities that homeownership provides. In this workshop we’ll explore the mechanisms creating the gap using our own childhood neighborhoods as the starting point for research, introspection, and discussion.
This 2 ½ hour workshop includes a lecture, video, two person mini-research projects, small breakout groups, and moderated group discussion.
Note: This virtual, fast-paced workshop is designed for white people who have committed to the path of repair, have done some family research, and understand the benefits afforded of white privilege and those who have found links to slavery, and its many afterlife vestiges.
Space is limited and you must register to attend.
To participate in this program, attendees must make a reparative pledge, prior to the workshop. Your pledge should be a meaningful reparative payment, which you decide, but not less than the minimum pledge of $1,000. Pledges are due by the end of the course. All pledges from this workshop will go to investing in the direct reparative wealth transfers of Reparation Generation’s Home Ownership Reparative (HORT) 3.0. We are looking to provide $50,000 in reparative wealth transfers from this workshop. You can make your contribution here.
While formal government reparations are the goal, Reparation Generation is compelled to act now to demonstrate forms of repair which can make the country we love more just, fair, and inclusive. We invite you to gather with others from around the country in this spirit. Every other month we host a “Meet RepGen” Virtual House meeting where we share our “reparations in action” approach and how this advances the broader reparation movement. In the months in between we host a “Reparations Deep Dive” where we delve into a particular topic of importance related to RepGen’s work or the reparations movement at large. We invite you to sign up for one of our virtual house meetings below!

Talking about reparations can feel risky — especially across racial, moral, or political lines. But these are exactly the conversations that matter most. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how to speak with clarity and courage when the stakes are high. Whether you’re navigating discussions with skeptical White relatives, politically divided colleagues, or folks unsure where they stand, you’ll leave with practical tools, grounded language, and a stronger sense of purpose. Together, we’ll practice turning tension into understanding — and discomfort into momentum for justice.
