The Dr. Sadie T. M. Alexander Commemorative Conference, honors the life and legacy of the first Black woman to graduate from Penn Law in 1927. This year’s Conference, The Cost of Slavery: How Reparations Correct America’s Balance Sheet, will analyze the legal case for reparations. America is as an errant corporation that is long overdue to remedy the actual harms of the trans-Atlantic slave trade on Black Americans. The ill-gotten profit of Black bondage produced irreconcilable discrepancies on America’s balance sheet and therefore is incontrovertible evidence that reparations are owed. Get your tickets now!
