Ben's Soft Pretzels issued the following announcement.

Date: Wednesday, August 7, 2019

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT

Location: Civil Rights Heritage Center

 The subject of Reparations for American descendants of slavery is a widely discussed topic today, calling out for national and local understanding and action.

On August 7, Dr. Darryl Heller will lay out the history of disenfranchisement of Black people in the United States not only during slavery but the legacy of systemic separation still active today.

Small group discussion will follow Dr. Heller's address to explore how this history speaks to us in South Bend and what it might call on us to do to repair our community.

This community discussion is part of an effort by the Community Forum for Economic Justice to bring wider local attention to this topic. Public attendance is free and highly encouraged.
