AAAS Town Hall: Reparations Now? Looking at Racial Wealth Inequality in a Time of Authoritarianism

The Department of African and African American Studies (AAAS) at Duke University will kick off the 2018 academic year with a town hall forum on reparations co-organized by Professors William "Sandy" Darity and Wahneema Lubiano.

Panelists will address the question: What might come of public dialogue around the question of reparations for African Americans in the era of the Trump regime with its continual attacks on the press and dissemination of knowledge, and while there is a Republican-controlled Congress?
