About Wells Center on American Exceptionalism and Restorative Justice

Ida B. Wells Center on American Exceptionalism and Restorative Justice, the Wells Center, is committed to engaging, researching, and addressing the historical misapprehensions of the legality of colonial slavery. We are a not-for-profit public benefit organization, whose raison d’être is to serve as a catalyst for ideas, strategies, and intellectual stimulation through Scholarship, Engagement, and Action (SEA) in the creation of thought-provoking social, economic, and academic SEA-change in global arenas. We seek to debunk the myths and falsehoods surrounding colonial slavery by pulling on the thread that weaves current racial-biased structures with slave-based systems of the colonial past through Scholarship, Engagement, and Action. We endeavor to change the social perceptions and racial prescriptive narratives of Blackness in America perpetrated and perpetuated by white predatory colonists in the criminal enterprise of slavery in colonial America. We advocate for due process rights and legal recourse for the descendants of American colonial slavery, the Foundational Black Americans .
