Looking at the power and transformation that can come from personal reparations
Episode description
How much do any of us know about our family’s past? If we dig deep enough, far enough… what might be unearthed?
For Randy Quarterman… and for Sarah Eisner… living thousands of miles apart… one in Savannah, Georgia… the other in Silicon Valley… who seemingly had separate existences… what was discovered was an intimate history that binds them together…
A history that is both personal… and national… a history of enslavement in the United States…
But what would happen if two people took on this painful past… and worked together to make things right in the present?
To answer that question and more… I’m joined by Randy Quarterman, fifth generation descendant of Zeike Quarterman… and Sarah Eisner, fifth generation descendant of George Adam Keller… They are the founders of the Quarterman Keller Foundation… and the Reparations Project… They are also both a part of the documentary ‘The Cost of Inheritance’
