Presented by Springfield College and NEPM.

NEPM and Springfield College invite you to a screening of “The Cost of Inheritance,” a film by acclaimed director Yoruba Richen about the U.S. reparations debate. Join us for a night of impactful storytelling and dialogue on historical and social justice, and learn more about the reparative justice work happening in western Massachusetts.

“The Cost of Inheritance” is an hour-long documentary that explores the complex issue of reparations in the United States using a thoughtful approach to history, historical injustices, systemic inequities, and the critical dialogue on racial conciliation. Watch a preview.

Following the screening, engage in a panel discussion with two of the film’s subjects, Briayna Cuffie and Lotte Lieb Dula; and local experts Jallicia Jolly, PhD, and Stefan M. Bradley, PhD,Black studies professors at Amherst College; and Michele Miller, chair of Amherst’s African Heritage Reparation Assembly. The panel will be moderated by Yemisi Oloruntola-Coates, chief inclusion and equity officer at GBH Boston.
