This week, Reparations Roundtable said goodbye to a fierce, passionate fighter. This week, we’re raising support for the family of Bookie Mayes as they grieve for her. This woman gave so much to her community, leading mutual aid and community care efforts even as she faced cancer for the past year. Can you help raise funds to help cover funeral costs for Bookie? Please share the link and give: https://www.gofundme.com/f/harriet-bookie-rankin

You can learn more about and honor Bookie by checking out the “Harriett Mayes Center” at 39th and Broadway in West Louisville, which was dedicated in her honor.
