​​​​​Founding Failures: Transformational Change and the Movements for Racial Equity

Sponsored by the American Constitution Society

As our nation continues to grapple with the legacy of slavery and the racial caste system it created, activists have been calling for the long-overdue dismantling of systemic racism. ACS has joined a growing coalition of organizations and thought leaders calling for a truth, racial healing, and transformation commission to take a hard look at the role our legal systems and institutions have played in building and maintaining racial inequality.

How can other countries' experiences with truth and reconciliation commissions inform our own? How does the growing movement for reparations fit into this work?
