Creating a Culture of Repair

Taking Action on the Road to Reparations

By: Robert Turner, Liz Theoharis - foreword

Narrated by: Robert Turner

Many people are aware of the injustices Black Americans have suffered over the centuries but feel powerless when it comes to repairing the harm done.

The inequality remains even after laws and policies have been corrected. Calculating and implementing financial reparations will require large-scale government action, which can feel out of reach or overwhelming for the average person. Robert Turner provides an accessible guide for individuals and groups wanting to influence significant institutional action while also acting on their own to repair the effects of racial injustice in our communities, churches, and spheres of influence. Dividing into categories of individual, social, institutional, and spiritual repair, Turner offers the longest list of reparations currently published, with more than one hundred actions listeners can begin practicing and advocating for to help balance economic injustice, undo hurtful decisions from decades past, and rally public support for bold and principled legislation.

Long Overdue

Creating a culture of repair, was well thought out and organized. The rich history and fact telling along with a plan with options to achieve the vision was spelled out perfectly. We have to change our mindset, acknowledge the right to reparations because of the wrong, that was done, It was great that Dr. Turner wrote and narrated the book, we got to hear the author tell the story in his own voice.
