Tax, Race, and Reparations: Reckoning with History, Rethinking the Future
Friday, March 6, 2026
12:00-1:00 p.m. Eastern/9:00-10:00 a.m. Pacific



Join the American Tax Policy Institute for a timely conversation with Dorothy A. Brown, Steven A. Dean, and Anthony C. Infanti, three leading scholars whose groundbreaking books challenge the ways tax law has reflected and reinforced racial injustice—historically, domestically, and globally. From colonial America’s use of taxation to entrench slavery, to the racialized architecture of the international tax system, to a bold new legal strategy for achieving reparations in the United States, this book-centered discussion will explore how law and policy have long been tools of inequality and how they might be reclaimed for justice.
In this webinar, each author will present key insights from their recent or forthcoming work, followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A. This interdisciplinary dialogue will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, students, and anyone engaged in conversations about racial equity, structural reform, and the future of tax justice.
The event is free and open to the public with pre-registration here.

That’s terrific.
