Join the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights for a virtual conversation between FXB Director, Dr. Mary T. Bassett, MD, MPH, and FXB Visiting Scientist Brittney Francis, PhD, MPH, who will share their takeaways after attending the 2nd Africa-CARICOM Summit in Addis Ababa in September 2025. The summit brought together member states from the African Union and CARICOM, along with UN entities and international NGOs, including the global African diaspora. The goal was to strengthen unity, deepen integration, and jointly pursue reparations and reparatory justice through a comprehensive transcontinental partnership framework, under the theme: “Transcontinental Partnership in Pursuit of Reparatory Justice for Africans and People of African Descent through Reparations.” The conversation will be moderated by FXB Research Associate, Serhat Yildirim, MD, MMSc.
