Debate: Are Reparations Key to Achieving Racial Reconciliation?
Join the Centennial Institute and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute as we examine the question of reparation policies in relation to racial reconciliation in the U.S.
Reparations are an issue on the horizon, with some cities across the country considering reparations to address historical injustices such as slavery. While some believe reparations would be an act of social justice for the descendants of those who suffered as slaves, others believe that reparations don’t make sense for a variety of reasons, including that they would imply that Americans today with no affiliation themselves with slavery are guilty of the sins of past generations.
The debate will be moderated by Mikayle Scheffel, Instructor of Communication and Head Coach of the Speech and Debate Team at Colorado Christian University.
