“Communitas by Way of Black Reparations:
Public Ruminations on Boston Racism”
with Rev. Kevin Peterson & Rev. John Gibbons
In “How do we engage the idea of American democracy with regard to community, especially regarding national anti-blackness? To what extent does the question of Black reparations address the degree to which vibrant local and national community can be developed and maintained? Encouraged by the work of theorist Roberto Esposito, this brief discussion will propose a task of deeper reflection upon our unfinished democratic community process and promising project of racial reconciliation.”
• Rev. John Gibbons is an activist and Unitarian Universalist minister, Emeritus at First Parish in Bedford, MA and Community Minister for Good Trouble at Boston’s Arlington Street Church.
• Kevin Peterson is a founder and director of the New Democracy Coalition which focuses on the issues of civic literacy civic policy and electoral justice. He is a democracy activist who realizes the connection between addressing racial division as a precondition toward strengthening our democracy on the local and national level. He is an organizer, writer and public speaker and enjoys talking to youth about civic engagement.
