These experts will also share examples underway in St. Louis (see map) and will introduce us to several related initiatives in which they are involved, including:

>Reparative Justice Coalition of St. Louis (RJC-STL), working in partnership with Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) and the statewide Community Remembrance Project of Missouri (CRP-MO) to commemorate histories and legacies of lynching in St. Louis and across Missouri

>WashU & Slavery Project, an initiative in partnership with the global consortium of Universities Studying Slavery, where Washington University has pledged to examine and address entanglements between its institutional history and the legacy of slavery 

>Memory for the Future, a public humanities lab in the Lewis Center which combines the study of interlinked histories and legacies of colonialism, slavery, and genocide with collaborative development of reparative public humanities projects in St. Louis
