American Black Journal and BridgeDetroit are teaming up to host a virtual town hall at 12 p.m. Feb. 16 about reparations for Black Americans. Join us as we take a detailed look at the history of reparations and discuss what Detroit’s new task force means for the idea. The esteemed panelists will share insights on the initial work being done on the ground floor in Detroit and more in a conversation moderated by American Black Journal host Stephen Henderson.

We want to hear your questions and thoughts on reparations too. The town hall will end with an opportunity for guests livestreaming in to connect with the panelists more on the topic, and learn how they can get involved.

With Special Guests:
Rev. Dr. JoAnn Watson, Senior Pastor, West Side Unity Church & longtime supporter of reparations
Andre Perry, Senior Fellow, Brookings Metro & Author of "Know Your Price"
Lauren Hood, Chair, Detroit City Planning Commission & AfroUrbanist
Keith Williams, Michigan Democratic Party Black Causus Chairman & Consultant
