The Cost of Inheritance: Film Viewing
Join the DA Reparations Task Force for an AP-friendly reparations film viewing event on Sunday, February 18th at 4:30 am (Washington time).
THE COST OF INHERITANCE, an America ReFramed special, explores the complex issue of reparations in the U.S. using a thoughtful approach to history, historical injustices, systemic inequities, and critical dialogue on racial conciliation. Through personal narratives, community inquiries, and scholarly insights, it aims to inspire understanding of the scope and rationale of the reparations debate.
