Join WHYY’s Christopher “Flood the Drummer” Norris for a screening of The Atonement Agenda’s first episode and a discussion with local experts about reparations and whether these compensations could close the racial wealth gap.
Panelist include:
Lisa Sharon Harper, author, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and The World and How to Repair it All. Rev. Naomi Washington-Leapheart, Director, Mayor’s Office of Faith Based Initiatives. Rashaun Williams, co-chair, N’Cobra, Phila chapter. Khaleef Alexander, co-founder, Millennial Juneteenth
