WHAT WE DO
"Freedom is never free." Dr. Eva N. Hodgson
ADVOCACY
Bermuda became a British settler colony in 1612. By the 1620s, the island was importing slaves. Our history is blighted by colonialism, slavery, and then segregation. It wasn't until the 1970s that the last formal barriers of oppression were removed. However, the impacts of systemic injustice require continuous advocacy to right those wrongs.
RECONCILIATION
After nearly 400 years of oppression, generational trauma runs deep. Our Truth and Reconciliation Community Conversations (TRCC), modelled after South Africa's experience but tailored for Bermuda, is but one way that we intend to bring healing and restoration to the community.
EDUCATION
Whilst we hope that people will know better, we don't assume that they do. One of our vital roles is to educate the public. This is done through our Structural Racism seminars, Restorative Practice Training, and various public forums, among other means.
