Join us for the first in an urgent online forum series with leaders from around the country to discuss one of the most important issues critical to the pursuit of racial justice in America. Many Americans learned about the Tulsa massacre when it was dramatized on the HBO superhero series Watchmen. To the people who lost their homes, businesses, and lives it was no fantasy – it was a real-life horror story. Whites attempted to destroy the entire Black community in Tulsa. The survivors and descendants of the massacred Black families in Tulsa continue to struggle for justice and attempt to repair the intergenerational trauma and lost wealth in the community. On May 31, 1921, the massacre and destruction began. On May 31, 2020, join scholars, activists, artists, and other leaders to address why the City of Tulsa must pay massacre victims reparations and Congress must pass H.R. 40 – a bill that would establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery and its legacy and make recommendations to Congress for reparations. Featured guests include Dr. Tiffany Crutcher, Founder, Terence Crutcher Foundation; Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Lead sponsor of H.R. 40; Nicole Austin-Hillery, Executive Director of the US Program, Human Rights Watch; Bryan Stevenson, Founder and Director of the Equal Justice Initiative; Montague Simmons, Movement for Black Lives Reparations Policy Table; Kamm Howard, National Co-Chairperson, National Coalition for Reparations for African Americans (NCOBRA); Nkechi Taifa, Esq., Civil Rights/Human Rights Attorney; Jasiri X, Hip-hop artist/activist Hosts National African American Reparations Commission (NAARC), Human Rights Watch (HRW) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Partners African Ancestral Society, Historic Vernon A.M.E.
