This special Reparations Town Hall marks five years since the passing of Evanston’s groundbreaking Resolution 126-R-19, a historic step toward justice that established dedicated funding and initiated the process of reparations for the City of Evanston, IL.
Judge Lionel Jean-Baptiste will guide a meaningful conversation with an intergenerational panel of Evanstonians, sharing personal stories, reflections, and the impact of reparations on their lives. Guests from the Symposium will also join to share how Evanston’s trailblazing reparations initiative inspired their own work and continues to shape the broader movement for justice and repair.
The Town Hall Meeting is free and open to the public.
