  • Local Reparations - Kamm Howard

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This document outlines a framework for local reparations initiatives presented at an Evanston Town Hall on May 21, 2020, by Kamm Howard. It traces the evolution of reparations work from pre-2018 resolutions supporting HR 40 through 2018–2020 implementation in New York, Evanston, Chicago, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and California. The framework defines reparations broadly as any resources targeted toward repair or healing of current injuries from past harms related to enslavement, Jim Crow, or post-Jim Crow discrimination against Black communities. It establishes three minimum guidelines from NAARC: initiatives must be determined by the injured community, resources must be administered or approved by that community, and policy must specifically target past harms. The document compares three models—HR 40, Evanston, and M. Williamson—and categorizes reparative initiatives into full repair (cessation, restitution, compensation, satisfaction, rehabilitation) and benefits (direct and collective), with specific examples from Evanston (business grants, affordable housing, STEM center, co-ops) and Chicago (vocational training, proportionate representation in city contracts, apology consistent with international norms).
