Why Philly Faith Leaders Are Talking About Reparations Now

Faith leaders in the city are getting training on how to have conversations about race and reparations. Host Trenae Nuri and Rev. Naomi Washington-Leapheart, director for Faith-Based and Interfaith Affairs for the City of Philadelphia and adjunct professor at Villanova University and Arcadia University, discuss how congregations talk about the intersections of faith and racial justice. 

If you're a faith leader or member of a faith group who wants to get involved in this work, you can reach Rev. Naomi at faithphl@phila.gov

Rev. Washington-Leapheart is speaking at The Hallmark Program of Penn’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium tonight from 5-7 p.m. at Hillel Steinhardt Hall.
