The Jerry S. Parr lecture series addresses the intersection of faith and social
change. Reparations Closer to Home will feature a dialogue with Rev.
Joseph M. Constant and Rev. Dr. Joseph D. Thompson, Jr.
Virginia Theological Seminary is the first school to create a reparations fund. The Alexandria, Virginia-based Episcopal seminary acknowledged that it once used enslaved labor and supported segregation, citing this history as part of the reason why it wanted to provide restitution.
This will be an interactive evening with an opportunity to discuss the important issue of reparations and why faith-based institutions have begun to look at their responsibility to the descendants of slaves. Come take part in this event with Rev. Constant and Rev. Thompson.
No charge. Come and bring a friend!
