California’s historic work on possible Black reparations moves to the Legislature

Associated Press  

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Members of California’s Black reparations task force handed off their historic two-year report to state lawmakers Thursday, beginning the next chapter in the long struggle to compensate the descendants of slavery. Amos C. Brown, a longtime civil rights activist and vice-chair of the task force, said California’s projected $31.5 billion budget deficit should not stop the state from making reparations. “Deficits don’t last always.” The nine-member reparations panel convened in June 2021, the year after Newsom signed legislation creating the group. New York may soon follow California by creating a commission to examine the state’s involvement in slavery and consider addressing present-day economic and educational disparities experienced by Black people.
