  • 2020 Tournament Distributed Packet
    Loomis Chaffee Debate Tournament – Resolution & Information packet Jan. 2020 Resolved, that the United States should adopt a program of reparations to redress the harms caused by historic, systemic racist policies, including slavery. Redress = to remedy or compensate for a wrong or grievence From the International Center for Transitional Justice Website “Overview of Reparations” Reparations serve to acknowledge the legal obligation of a state, or individual(s) or group, to repair the consequences of violations — either because it directly committed them or it failed to prevent them. They also express to victims and society more generally that the state is committed to addressing the root causes of past violations and ensuring they do not happen again. With their material and symbolic benefits, reparations are important to victims because they are often seen as the most direct and meaningful way of receiving justice. Yet, they are often the last-implemented and least-funded measure of transitional justice. It is important to remember that financial compensation — or the payment money — is only one of many different types of material reparations that can be provided to victims. Other types include restoring civil and political rights, erasing unfair criminal convictions, physical rehabilitation, and granting access to land, health care, or education. Sometimes, these measures are provided to victims’ family members, often children, in recognition that providing them with a better future is an important way to overcome the enduring consequences of the violations. Reparations can be implemented through administrative programs or enforced as the outcome of litigation. Oftentimes, they overlap and compete for state resources with programs against poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to resources, like land.

  • Tral\ISAFRICA
    .TRAl\ISAFRICA i Justice fa- the African World / A Chronology of the Free South Africa Movement • November 21, 1984 (Thanksgiving Eve) - The Free South Africa Movement (FSAM) is born when Dr. Mary Frances Berry, then Commissioner and later chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, D.C. Congressman Walter Fauntroy, and TransAfrica's Executive Director Randall Robinson are arrested at the South African Embassy for attempting to stage a sit-in to protest against the South African apartheid government. Georgetown University law professor Eleanor Holmes Norton was also with the group at the South African Embassy, but was not arrested as she had stepped out to address the media when the other members of the group were taken away. Academic and community organizer Dr. Sylvia Hill, President of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists William Lucy and Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies Senior Fellow Roger Wilkins join Berry, Fauntroy and Robinson on the steering committee. This act marks the beginning of daily protests at the South African Embassy which will last for years to come. Within a week, public demonstrations against South African consulates, Krugerrand coin dealers, and corporations tied to South Africa spread throughout the nation. Over the course of a year, more than 4,500 people are arrested nationwide and grassroots campaigns develop in more than 40 cities. Rosa Parks, Senator Lowell Weicker, more than twenty members of the House of Representatives, Jesse Jackson, Harry Belafonte, Arthur Ashe, Tony Randall, Stevie Wonder, and Coretta Scott King are among the celebrities who join daily demonstrations at the South African Embassy.

  • RIGGS: Rich Man's Bank
    "A lot of people have the view that Riggs is a rich man's bank. "-Melvin Chrisman. Senior Vice President, Riggs National Bank RIGGS: Rich Man's Bank Have you ever tried toget a mortgage, home improvement or small business loan from Riggs and been turned down? If so, you have somethihg in common with other DC residents who live in predominantly black and working class neighborhoods. But if you want to purchase an expensive home west of Rock Creek Park or a recently renovated townhouse on Capitol Hill or, perhaps, even in Shaw, then you have a "friend" at Riggs. Riggs is, in fact, a "rich man's bank." Discriminatory mort- gage lending, employment and promotion practices and a lack of services to the vast majority of community residents are the evidence. Riggs, the DC bank with the largest amount of deposits, has the lowest percentage of loans to District residents and businesses of any commercial bank in the city.

HISTORY OF TRANSAFRICA The idea for a foreign policy lobby germinated at the Black Leadership Conference convened by the Congressional Black Caucus on September 25-26, 1976. Because of the conspicious absence of Afro-Americans in high-level international affairs positions and the general subordination, if not, neglect of African/Caribbean priorities, a private advocacy organization was envisioned as a counterbalance by the 130 leaders present hailing from public office, the civil rights movement, business, labor, religion, civic associations, and educational institutions. An ad hoc committee consisting of Herschelle Challenor, Willard Johnson, and Randall Robinson formulated an organizational design and investigated funding possibilites. On. July 1, 1977 TransAfrica was incorporated and period of fund­ raising followed. Two start-up grants· one each from the National Council of Churches and the Board of Global Ministries/United Methodist Church were immediately forth­ coming. From September 1977 to the following May, a series of cocktail receptions spohs9red by prominent figures took place in several cities across the country: Wash­ ington, Detroit, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and New York.
