Join us on Saturday September 13th 2025 from 12pm-230pm at Blackstone Public Library (4904 South Lake Park Avenue Chicago Illinois 60615), for our Community Conversation on the feature documentary, A BINDING TRUTH. In collaboration with RepGen, we will watch the documentary and take time for conversation. This is a multiracial conversation meant to inspire each other to talk with open hearts, and set the table for meaningful conversations about race, justice, reparations and the truth of our slave history in America. Together, we will delve into the paths forward, the power of reconciliation, and the importance of healing and repair.
Popcorn and snacks will be provided.
A BINDING TRUTH Summary: Jimmie and De were high school classmates in 1965. Jimmie transferred his senior year from an all-Black high school to an affluent white high school in Charlotte, where he was their first Black football star. That decision swept him into one of North Carolina’s most volatile civil rights cases, played out at the explosive intersection of football and race. De watched that case unfold and wrote about it in his college essay application. Decades later, a shocking discovery reveals secrets found buried in church records that would change their lives. Their story, rooted in the South, is also America’s story–one of slavery’s legacy and our current racial divide. It’s a story of healing and shows a way forward as Jimmie and De explore their binding truth.
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!
