In the past four years, the movement toward land reparations and racial equity has gained unprecedented momentum in Los Angeles— a city marked by land use practices that have exacerbated racial inequalities and robbed communities of color of opportunities to build generational wealth. As the city, county, and state explore reparative measures through groundbreaking reports and task forces, there is a critical window of opportunity to address these injustices.

Join us for an informative panel discussion to explore the intersections of reparations and land use, with a focus on restrictive covenants, eminent domain, and pathways to justice for the affected families and communities. This event will provide a high-level overview of the land use history, current reparative efforts and case studies.

Moderator 

• Dr. Rhianna Rogers, Independent Researcher and former Director of the Center to Advance Racial Equity Policy and Senior Policy Researcher at the RAND Corporation

Panelists

• Tony Tolbert, Professor at UCLA School of Law
• Caroline Torosis, Councilmember, City of Santa Monica
• Eric J. Miller, Professor and Leo J. O’Brien Fellow at Loyola Law School
