SUMMARY:The Big Payback: Texas Town Hall Debate
DESCRIPTION:Join Independent Lens\, Texas PBS\, Houston Public Media\, KERA\, and Black Public Media for a virtual Texas Town Hall Debate on the future of reparations in America\, inspired by the new PBS film The Big Payback. Filmmakers Erika Alexander and Whitney Dow\, along with film participant Robin Rue\, Texas-based change-makers\, and Historically Black College and University (HBCU) students will come together to address these controversial and pressing questions: \n\nIs restitution warranted\, and on what basis?\nWhat forms might repayment take?\nCan disparate local standards lead to equitable national repair?\nWhat consequences might their implementation have for American race relations?\nCan monetary reparations resolve centuries of injustice that extend beyond economic condition?\n\nThe Conscious Lee will open the event and moderate a debate conducted by students representing HBCUs. \nAttendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with filmmakers\, panelists\, and student debaters through polls and the interactive chat. ASL interpreters will be present during the panel discussion and debate\, and the film trailer will be closed captioned. \nThe event will feature: \n\nErika Alexander\, influencer\, activist\, actor\, and co-director of The Big Payback\nWhitney Dow\, co-director of The Big Payback\nEddie Robinson (moderator)\, host of I SEE U on Houston Public Media\nThe Conscious Lee (debate host)\, social media influencer\, educator\nRobin Rue Simmons\, featured in The Big Payback\, founder and executive director of FirstRepair\nJerry Hawkins\, executive director of Dallas Truth\, Racial Healing & Transformation\n\nThe Big Payback is part of Stories for Justice\, a public media partnership made possible with the generous support of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting\, Ford Foundation\, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation\, Wyncote Foundation and Park Foundation. \nEvent Partners: \n\nBlack Public Media\nKERA\nHouston Public Media\nTexas PBS\n\nABOUT THE FILM \nRookie Alderwoman Robin Rue Simmons of Evanston\, Illinois\, led the passage of the first tax-funded reparations bill in U.S. history for Black Americans. What follows is grief and debate as she and her community struggle with the burden to make repair and restitution for its citizens\, while a national racial and social crisis engulfs the country. Meanwhile\, Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee faces a 30-year battle to pass H.R. 40\, a national bill to study reparations and make recommendations. Both women are met with racism and resistance\, as well as help from allies and abolitionists within. Together\, they pressure the government to deliver monetary justice and appropriate remedies for Black Americans harmed by centuries of chattel slavery\, state-sponsored terrorism\, systemic injustice\, and corporate exploitation. Will the debt ever be addressed\, or is it too late for a reparations movement to finally get the big payback? The Big Payback is streaming now through April 16\, 2023\, on the PBS App. \nABOUT INDEPENDENT LENS \nINDEPENDENT LENS is an Emmy® Award-winning weekly series\, airing on PBSMonday nights at 10:00 p.m. ET.
