Reparations and Cooperatives: Building Economic and Racial Justice in the South

The impact of hundreds of years of racial and economic injustice live on in the United States, which is why there’s still a huge racial wealth gap – and in fact, it’s only getting worse.

We have to build a new set of ideas, a new level of expertise… and find ways to be radically inclusive.
