The year 2019 represented the 400th anniversary of the forced arrival
of enslaved Africans in the English colonies at Point Comfort, Virginia
in 1619. In the history of the African-American experience throughout
this period there have been many gains in the liberation of the
formerly enslaved. However, with the continuation of the conditions
of structural impoverishment and systemic and violent racism, the
ultimate liberation for African-Americans remains to be realized.
In the event, “The Future of Freedom: Reparations after 400,” a
distinguished panel of scholars will consider what the question of
reparations means for this freedom’s fulfillment and what kind of
future could follow for African-Americans beyond 400.
