Greenidge, founder of Greatest MINDS and a widely respected community leader, is a member of the City of Boston Task Force on Reparations and will share updates and perspectives on the Task Force’s work 1.5 years into a 3-year mandate aiming to study the legacy of slavery in Boston and the impact on descendants as the basis for recommendations on reparative justice solutions for Black residents — and serving as a learning ground for other cities.
