The Red Record, named after Ida B Wells' effort to document racially motivated killings at the turn of the 20th century, explores the case files of the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University School of Law. more

Thoroughly appalled and sickened by the rising numbers of white-on-black murders in the South since the beginning of Reconstruction, and by the unwillingness of local, state and federal governments to prosecute those who were responsible, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett wrote Southern Horrors, a pamphlet in which she exposed the horrible reality of lynchings to the rest of the nation and to the world. Wells explained, through case study, how the federal government's failure to intervene allowed Southern states the latitude to slowly but effectively disenfranchise blacks from participating as free men and women in a post-Civil War America with the rights and opportunities guaranteed to all Americans by the Constitution. (Summary by James K. White ) more

In this podcast we will be talking about racism

Originally coined by 19th century philosopher Josiah Royce, the term Beloved Community refers to a way of life that is based on pure, unconditional love for humankind. Beloved community is not merely about the community itself— it's about the individuals within a community.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. used this as a guiding vision during the fight for civil rights in the mid-20th century. 'Building the Beloved' takes a look into what this idea looks like in practice and aims to inspire individuals and community-serving organizations and agencies to implement more 'beloved' practices in their fields. The neighborhood in which we are raised has a tremendous role in determining our sense of self, which in turn plays a role in cultivating a shared sense of identity with the world around us. With this in mind, it is essential that the basic elements of our communities politics, culture, economy, and design reflect a central focus on equity. more
