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. At the House Meeting we will share our “reparations in actions” approach and how this advances the broader reparation movement. You will hear from participants about why they joined Reparation Generation and about ways you can participate which include, but are not limited to, committing funds.

Building a better future requires honestly confronting the past. Fortunately, resources are available to help make this complicated process both accessible and reparative. People are often drawn to the reparations movement after discovering how their intimate family history intersects with enslavement, and RepGen is here to help with this journey. Applicants to our HORT program receive one-on-one consultation from trained genealogists to provide context and healing.
In upcoming house meetings, we will explore why and how we all can map our family histories and discuss the results with relatives. Join us on July 30 from 5:00-6:30 for a special Virtual House Meeting event featuring Lotte Lieb Dula, Founder of Reparations4Slavery, in conversation with Kellie Farrish, RepGen Board Member and Professional Genealogist. After learning about her own familial ties to slavery in Mississippi, Lieb Dula created R4S as a “portal for white families walking the path of racial healing through engaging in direct repair.” Lieb Dula and Farrish will share their expertise and discuss best practices and the benefits of restorative genealogy for all. There will be time to answer questions from the audience.
