Registration is now open for the 6th Annual National Symposium for State and Local Reparations, which will take place Dec. 2-4 in Evanston at Hilton Orrington, 1710 Orrington Ave. Hosted by FirstRepair, the three-day gathering will bring together organizers, scholars, artists, youth leaders and advocates from across the country to share ideas, strengthen partnerships and advance local and state reparations efforts. The symposium builds on last year’s event, which drew approximately 300 participants representing 60 communities nationwide. Organizers say this year’s convening will continue to expand the national network of local and state reparations initiatives while providing attendees with practical strategies to support their work. Additional information, including registration and the full symposium schedule, is available on the symposium website.
