Thank you, once again for your support and participation. In the words of our Co-Chair, Dr. Mahdi Ibn-Ziyad, “In the end our UU Reparations Task Force team sees the need for future organizing events to build on the momentum put in motion last Wednesday. We hope what we have initiated will catch fire and burn blue hot in bringing relief in the sorry matter of morally and certainly materially compensating the living descendants of Africans enslaved in New Jersey up to the Civil War Amendments and the generations thereafter that have been forced by the same antebellum originated  type of structured racism in law and custom to live an indecent, second class and horribly unequal existence in the Garden State.”
