GU272 Descendant Joseph Stewart asks for inclusion of the Descendants in the Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation Initiative, September 1, 2016

On September 1, 2016, following the formal acceptance  of the Working Group Report on Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation, GU272 Descendant Joseph Stewart challenged President John J. deGioia, pointing out that the Working Group excluded the voices of Descendants. Mr. Stewart is now the leader of the GU272 Descendants Association, which formed a partnership with the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States to establish the Descendants Truth & Reconciliation Foundation.
