The Civil Reparations Mock Trial

Join us as we present a fictional lawsuit between the descendants of former slaves against the descendants of former slave-holders. The Breath Project has worked with Chicago-based civil litigation attorney John H. Ray, III of John Ray & Counsel, P.C., to develop the facts and evidence of the fictional suit. This presentation by local actors and law professionals is FREE to attend, and will be followed by a Q&A and audience discussion.
