SUMMARY:February Reparations Strategy Session featuring Kamm Howard
DESCRIPTION:Kamm Howard is a Chicago businessman and real estate investor\, and a national and international reparations scholar and activist working for over 20 years building grassroots movements to obtain reparations for African descendants in the United States.  From 2017-2022\, he served as the National Co-Chair of The National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America\, or N’COBRA.  While at N’COBRA\, he assisted in forming the vision and developed\, led\, and implemented many significant actions pushing forward and keeping alive the fight for redress and repair for the intergenerational harm inflicted on black people and the anti-black policies sanctioned by local\, state\, and federal governments affecting us to this day.  In 2022\, Howard founded Reparations United to further his mission for obtaining reparations.  He provides advisory and leadership to coalitions and activists in the movement.  He serves as a Commissioner of the National African American Reparations Commission where in 2017 he led in revising the federal legislation H.R. 40 – a bill to establish a commission to study and develop reparation proposals for African Americans.  Kamm authored a pamphlet\, “Laying the Foundation for Local Reparations: A Guide for Providing National Symmetry for Local Reparations Efforts\,” that has provided guidance to numerous activists around the country. In addition to being the lead writer for revising the federal HR 40 bill\, Kamm wrote the Chicago and State of Illinois reparations legislations that created the Chicago Reparations Subcommittee and the State of Illinois Reparations Commission. Kamm was selected to give testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on HR 40 which led to the historic vote to pass the bill out of the House Judiciary Committee. Also\, he sits on the Boards of First Repair – founded by Robin Rue Simmons of Evanston\, Illinois\, and Global Black started by Dr. Amara Enya\, while also serving on the advisory councils of the African American Redress Network (AARN) and the Descendants of the St. Louis University Enslaved\, or DSLUE. \nClick here to register on Zoom \n

SUMMARY:National Race Amity Conference
DESCRIPTION:The concept of Race Amity has been around for more than a century\, and many people understand it to be a cross-racial\, collaborative methodology for approaching racial healing.  But how practical is it?  Can we really use this approach to address real world organizational and societal challenges?  Is it too “soft” to address the difficult trials that we face today? \nOur focus this year will be on exactly that challenge:  how to create cultures in organizations and society that use Race Amity as a strategic approach.
