Truth-Telling Commissions are designed to hear and give facts and perspectives on critical topics from the lens of the African American experience. SDPC works to diminish the “systems and behaviors that create and sustain white supremacy and denial and continue to perpetuate gaps in the economic well-being of African Americans. SDPC believes that there is a compelling need to tell the truth about anti-Black race assaults and massacres in the United States, and a need to foster transparency and accountability.
