Abstract
This project explores "How rest could serve as a mode of resistance and reparations for Black people in American". By providing readers with a review of relevant literature, social media analysis, and reflexive writing this research peers into the topics of the nuanced relationship that Black people in American have with rest and the resource and opportunity gaps that follow as a result. Furthermore, this project explores the concept of how the recognition of where this nation has been could possibly inform where we go. Throughout this project, the researcher suggests that recognition of harm and racially charged inequities, paired with the enacting of rest could potentially lead towards Black healing and repair, ideally serving as an effective cultural and community-based healing instrument and reparations for Black people in America.
