ABOUT Aspirational Justice
What is Aspirational Justice?
Aspirational Justice is a Truth and Healing construct that engages African-Americans and the wider American society who have historically been at odds and are seeking to establish a new relational construct. This new construct is transformative and reimagines a new racial and reparative relationship.

What are Aspirational Justice Constructs?
The Aspirational Justice Constructs (AJC) looks at four key areas of interest. These areas are Truth and Reconciliation, the Symbolic, the Institutional and the Tangible. The three questions to reflect upon when working toward creating this new construct are 1) What are the symbolic processes needed to begin this new relationship toward healing and truth telling? 2) What are the institutional rearrangements and new institutions that need to be considered in this new relationship? 3) What are the tangible reparative processes (TRP) needed to be in place to begin to equalize the relational, socio-political and socio-economic conditions of the African-American and the wider American society?
