Reparations Panel Discussion
In honor of Maryland's Emancipation Day, the Greenbelt Black History and Culture Committee (GBHCC) is presenting a panel discussion about reparations on Saturday, November 9, 2024. Join the BGHCC to learn about reparations efforts. Panelists include Dr. Raymond Winbush - Morgan State University (local/national perspective), Dreisen Heath - Human Rights Watch (international perspective), and Rico Newman - Member of Choptico Band of Elders (indigienous perspective), Piscataway-Conoy Tribe of Indians.
This year the Museum is very proud to be a sponsor of the Greenbelt Black History and Culture Committee's program. Maryland celebrates Emancipation Day on November 1 to commemorate the day in 1864 when the state's new constitution abolished slavery. This event is also co-sponsored by the Prince George's County Office of Human Rights and the Greenbelt Recreation Department.
This event is a FREE, IN-PERSON event open to all. Registration/tickets are not required, but if you register, you will receive reminders for the event. Seating is on a first come, first served basis. The talk will take place in the auditorium of the Greenbelt branch of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System. Free parking is available on site.
Greenbelt, Maryland, a National Historic Landmark planned community, was built in 1937 as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. The town was designed as a garden city that would be a model of modern town planning and cooperative living in America. Sadly although it was built by both Black and white laborers, black families were excluded from living in the town when it opened. It became integrated in the second half of the 1960s.

Thank you for sharing this important discussion on reparations and historical justice. Open conversations like these help communities learn from history and work toward a better future. On a different note, character-inspired fashion remains popular, and the Mickey Mouse Varsity Jacket is a fun choice for fans who enjoy classic designs and timeless pop culture style.
Thank you for sharing insights from the Reparations Panel Discussion. I'm curious about how different communities envision reparations beyond monetary compensation. Could you explore examples of non-financial reparative actions? Also, how might initiatives like foodle contribute to community healing?
