As communities across the nation prepare to observe the Week of Repair, it is a time to reflect, remember, and advocate for justice.

This special week is dedicated to honoring Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States, acknowledging their enduring legacy, and pushing forward the movement for reparations.

The history of slavery in the U.S. is a profound and painful chapter that has shaped the social, economic, and cultural landscape of the nation.

For many Black Americans, their ancestors’ forced labor and systemic oppression have had lasting effects, impacting generations through disparities in wealth, education, health, and justice.

The Week of Repair serves as a national call to action and an opportunity for communities, organizations, and policymakers to recognize the enduring impacts of slavery and to commit to tangible measures of restitution.

It emphasizes the importance of acknowledgement, healing, and justice for Black Americans whose lineage traces back to enslaved ancestors.
