A citywide community engagement effort to inform a reparations study is now underway in Chicago.

The engagement series dubbed "Repair Chicago" seeks input from Black Chicagoans about the impacts of systemic discrimination.

Chicago's office of Equity and Racial Justice is in charge of the effort which includes an online survey as well as bus tours, panel discussions, town halls, and hearings--all with the goal of better understanding the black experience across generations and devising a city plan for reparations.

The next town hall is scheduled for April 9 at Malcolm X. College.
