The concept of reparations has become increasingly relevant as governments and organizations around the world grapple with the legacy of colonialism, slavery, and other forms of systemic injustice.
Want to explore one of the most important and controversial issues of our time? Join us for a dynamic dialogue on the topic of reparations. We'll delve into the history, politics, and ethical implications of reparations for past wrongs, and explore how or if they could help address systemic injustices today. Come ready to listen, learn, and share your thoughts in a thought-provoking and stimulating conversation!
Lunch will be provided after the program.
This program is part of the Encounters series, a UConn partner program that brings communities into small group discussions around pressing issues of our times. Learn more about Encounters here: Encounters Series 2023
The Albany Branch Library endeavors daily to maintain its role as one of Albany Avenue’s most vital resources. The Albany Branch was established in 1926. It was first located in the Northwest School and then in rented quarters at 1239 Albany Avenue. The branch’s present location at 1250 Albany Avenue opened in February 1950 in a building designed by H. Sage Goodwin. In 2011 a new 8,000 square foot facility on the corner of Albany and Blue Hills Avenues replaced the sixty-one-year-old structure.
