On Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (EST), leading reparations advocates from across the African Diaspora will gather in Harlem for THE GARVEY TALKS: A Reparations Rap Session—a strategic dialogue on reparatory justice. Hosted at Harlem Community Board 9 (3291 Broadway, between 132nd & 133rd Streets), this official side event of the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent will explore lessons learned, collective solutions, and the path forward. Moderated by Rev. Kobi Little, the session features speakers from the Caricom and National African-American Reparations Commissions and takes place during the African Union’s Year of Reparations. Sponsored by UNIA Jamaica, United Maroon Indigenous Peoples, FirstRepair, Justice Chapel, TAI, and NAARC.
