The Reparations Project

The Reparations Project: The Reparations Project creates new models for individuals, descendant- families, and The nation to repair racialized injustice against black/african-american people that began in 1619 and continues today. The Reparations Project is a multifaceted redress initiative that seeks to narrow The wealth gap and promote equity by centering descendants of those who were enslaved and supporting descendant families of enslavers to pursue ancestral healing through repairing generational harm. Investing in education: through our Quarterman & Keller social justice scholarships and financial literacy academy, we invest in black/a-a students, educators, and social justice education that engage local communities where large numbers of ancestors of The enslaved live. Recruit for legal land redress: we recruit attorneys and title companies to assist descendants of The enslaved with heirs property challenges in order to preserve and strengthen black/a-a land ownership and generational wealth. We also partner with scholars and local activists to protect and preserve sacred spaces for education and healing. Amplifying descendant voices: we believe truth telling and authentic relationships are key to our nation's healing and repair. We assist descendant-families of The enslaved and of enslavers in reconciliation, and amplify their stories through narrative, our curated digital publication and newsletter. We began supporting tre singleton of urban mentoring academy in savannah, we funded two new scholars at Georgia southern university in savannah, we provided significant support to pafen for tax payments on gullah geechee land.in 2022, we began planning for repossessions with a curator. Repossessions will allow donors to gift slavery-era ephemera to trp and The curator will organize black artsts to contextualize The ephemera for an eventual gallery exhibit.
