Church established by slave owners creates reparations fund by The Associated Press Last Updated Jan 29, 2021 at 6:26 pm EDT BALTIMORE A Baltimore Episcopal church founded by slaveholders in the 1860s said it will spend $500,000 over the next five years to establish a fund intended as reparations for slavery. Members of Memorial Episcopal Church in Bolton Hill voted Sunday to set aside $100,000 to donate in the next year to community organizations doing what it termed “justice-centred work,” The Baltimore Sun reported Friday. The fund is targeting race-based inequalities that have proliferated for generations in the church and in the community at large. A church advisory group will choose beneficiaries whose work focuses on issues of housing, education, environmental justice or civic engagement.

Several Episcopal dioceses  including ones in New York and Texas have launched reparations programs within the past two years. The Diocese of Texas has allocated $13 million toward long-term programs aimed at benefiting Blacks.
