The Cost of Inheritance: Film Viewing and **SPECIAL Q&A**
Join the DA Reparations Task Force for a reparations film viewing event and Q&A on Monday, February 19th at 1 pm (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.
