Reparations task force votes to approve recommendations for the payments of reparations to Black Californians

CNN  

CNN — A panel in California created to consider reparations for Black residents voted over the weekend to approve recommendations for the payments of reparations to Black Californians for injustices and discrimination stemming from slavery. Saturday’s meeting in Oakland was the 15th public meeting of the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, according to Kamilah Moore, chair of the panel. Among the possible estimates of reparations for Black Californians recommended by the task force are: Estimated value of payment for health care disparities: $13,619 for each year of residency, based on 71-year life expectancy. The task force recommendations have previously called for a state office to process reparations claims and “identify and mitigate the ways that current and previous policies have damaged and destabilized Black families,” to restore historical sites, to support education, and to offer free legal aid and other services. People in Oakland listen to the reparations task force, a nine-member committee studying restitution proposals for African Americans.
