First Sunday here at First Presbyterian Church in Lansing was a bit different as they presented a reparations check to the Justice League of Greater Lansing and it got some mixed reactions.
The message was “Reparations is repentance ” and it came in the form of a $40,000 check.
“We hope that it can reach and can impact the 100,000 African Americans living in the Greater Lansing region but that won’t happen over night” said Prince Solace, Justice League of Greater Lansing Michigan president
