Black Reparations Project (BRP): Advancing Reparations Learning, Policy, and Action
Project: BRP is a newly formed academic initiative at Mills College at Northeastern University (Oakland campus), working to further support the Black reparations movement in California and across the nation. We are conducting research and analysis of reparations implementation and planning considerations, challenges, and successes. We seek to meet the need to increase formal Black reparations learning opportunities, further build connective tissue among movement leaders, provide academic research and policy analysis support for Black reparations initiatives, and maintain continuous documentation of reparations movement works.
