Adelle M. Banks of Religion News Service reports, “A professor and students at Harvard Kennedy School are joining forces with prominent Christian and Jewish organizations to develop a faith-based blueprint to advance the possibility of reparations for African Americans.” The group is hoping to create both legislative and faith-based proposals by the end of the semester. The Rev. Cornell William Brooks, the professor at the Kennedy School, said, “We’re trying to build a grassroots, congregation-level strategy to take up the whole matter of federal reparations and ultimately establish a commission and ultimately push for legislation that addresses America’s profound racial wealth gap.”
