Lotte Lieb Dula’s journey to becoming a reparationist began abruptly—after she learned of her ancestors’ history of slaveholding, she felt compelled to pursue repair and healing using the advantages and skills accumulated over generations.

In the mid-1800s, Dave the Potter produced durable pieces that brought wealth and notoriety to his enslavers and to Edgefield, South Carolina.

Reparation Generation (RepGen) is working to make the country we love more just, fair, and inclusive. We invite you to gather with others from around the country in this spirit for our Virtual House Meetings. Every other month, join us to “Meet RepGen,” learn about our “reparations in action” approach, and see how it advances the broader reparations 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. Sign up to attend one of our virtual house meetings below!
