Reparations Daily (ish) Vol. 46
Happy Monday! No Hot Takes section today, but here are some articles you may want to check out.
I wrote this article in the Nonprofit Quarterly about the need to invest in Black boys so that they have the power to change their own narratives.
As reported by the US News & World Report, the ACLU and others have filed a federal lawsuit arguing that the Oklahoma anti-history bill violates students’ 1st Amendment rights.
Citigroup became the first Wall Street bank to agree to do a deep dive into its business to see if, and how, it contributes to racial discrimination according to Fortune.
Local support for reparations continues to grow— Louisville Mayor, Greg Fischer, signed a resolution urging Congress to support HR 40 as reported by WDRB.
See you Wednesday!
With radical love,
