Religion and the Legacies of Slavery | A Series of Public Online Conversations: Memory, History, and the Ethics of Reparations

Date: 

Monday, January 23, 2023, 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Location: 

Harvard Divinity School—Online

Building beyond the work of the 2022 Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery Report, Harvard Divinity School will host a series of online conversations with members of the HDS faculty to engage these vital questions from their expertise within the study of religion. Expand your understanding of the history and continuing implications of slavery in service of advancing racial justice in our own time and context.

On February 27, Terrence L. Johnson, Professor of African American Religious Studies, will examine how the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois and Toni Morrison establish a framework for exploring the role of religion and ethics in grappling with the memory and history of African enslavement.
