The Community Discussion will be used to educate the Austin community regarding the passing of the City of Austin’s Resolution NO. 20210304-067 (Agenda Item 67) that calls for Restitution for Black Austinites and the creation of a Black Embassy.
Participants will be able to learn about the process and purpose of the resolution and allowed time for questions, expression and discussion. Registration Survey is required for participation. Virtual will be available.
