How Quakers Are Using Reparations to Help Fund Homes and Heal Hearts

People have been debating reparations for more than a century, but a group of people in Philadelphia are taking action. Learn how their work is helping heal their community one family at a time while also serving as a role model for cities nationwide. Lucy Duncan, clerk of the Philadelphia-based Green Street Reparations Committee and co-founder and co-director of the organization, ReparationWorks, along with Rebecca L. Grant, a member of the Green Street Reparations Committee join us to talk about reparations.
