AMHERST — Historic and ongoing racial disparities among Amherst residents uncovered by a group seeking to find a way for the town to offer reparations to Black residents will be presented at a forum next week.
A virtual “Symposium on Reparations” takes place Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. featuring brief research presentations and talks by Reparations for Amherst co-founders Michele Miller and Matthew Andrews.
Miller said that discrepancies between Black and white residents in areas such as housing, education, health, transportation and upward mobility have been identified by participants, but that it was often a struggle to get statistics and only came after extensive digging.
