The Radical Equity Fund for Reparations was launched on August 28th.
AUGUST 28 is the date in black history for several key events: the 1955 lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 “I Have A Dream” speech during the massive March on Washington; the 2005 date that Hurricane Katrina made its tragic landfall; and the night in 2008 when Barack Obama became the Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate in Denver.
August 28: A Day in the Life of a People, directed by Ava DuVernay, can be seen @ the National Museum of African-American History + Culture in Washington DC

One of the Fund's goals is to grow large enough to seed sustainable support for community-based reparations for Black people in America while contributing to a more informed understanding of U.S. history.
