The Past, Present, and Future of Reparations

For hundreds of years, the law has maintained racial injustice and curtailed meaningful remedies for reparative justice in the United States. This Colloquium brought together scholars, legal practitioners, community activists, and policymakers to imagine the possibilities—and limits—of the law in facilitating truth, reconciliation, and meaningful reparations.

• Deborah Archer, NYU School of Law

• David Ragland, Truth Telling Project of Ferguson
