Authentically Detroit

Judging the Judge and Weighing Reparations with Amber Hendley


Listen Later

This week Donna and Orlando sat down with Researcher and Policy Advocate, Amber Hendley to discuss her fight to reclaim her grandfather’s church!

Amber is an accomplished researcher and policy advocate, known for her work in fair lending, wealth creation, and financial systems reform, particularly focusing on Black outcomes.

During her childhood, Amber and her mother resided in Detroit alongside her grandfather, Gary M. Douglas, Jr., the inaugural and only Black pastor  in the history of the Abyssinia Interdenominational Church, where they actively  participated in the life of the church.

For the  past four years, she’s been actively engaged in Detroit with the intention to reconnect  with former church members and have meetings with local developers, leaders, lenders, and city  officials to gain insight into the needs of the area from the perspective of its native  residents.
