HISTORIC FACTS
The Work of CURE

White Support for Reparations: The Work of CURE
By Ida Hakim

Caucasians United for Reparations and Emancipation
(CURE) was founded and incorporated in 1992. Since that time it has established a body of written work and a reputation for sincerity, tenacity and passion its reparations advocacy efforts. At its origin, CURE saw itself as continuing the work begun by white Abolitionists. The founders believed that the Black Holocaust, beginning with the trans-Atlantic slave trade more than 400 years ago, has not yet ended, and it will not come to an end until full and complete reparations are paid to the descendants of the enslaved Africans. Thus the organization name calls for both reparations and emancipation.

The recommendation to establish an organization of white supporters came from a black reparations leader. Upon receiving the recommendation, Ms. Hakim took up the task and began to locate white persons who were connected in some way with the black community. From the beginning, CURE members of different ages, from different backgrounds, with religious and ideological differences, in support of different black leaders or black organizations, came together and worked together with reparations as the unifying factor.

In the writings and photographs that follow, you will see some small part of the work of CURE. Individually and locally, CURE members work in many ways to oppose white privilege, to combat racism and to advocate full and complete reparations. The organization CURE is a place where supporters of reparations can connect with each other and learn from each other's experience as they work toward creating a more just world.
