"Reparations" with Darryl Heller and Ben Bouwman--Called to be Bad Podcast S3 EP

"White people act as if racism doesn't hurt them, but it does."

In this episode of Called to be Bad I talk with Darryl Heller and Ben Bouwman about reparations. Darryl is professor of women and gender studies at Indiana University South Bend and is the director of the South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center. Ben pastors at Walnut Hill Mennonite Church in Goshen, Indiana.

Darryl and Ben provide definitions for reparations and Darryl talks about how reparations is a process, not a one-time-event. We discuss biblical models of reparations and how learning history is key to prevent future harm.
