California is moving forward with its effort to compensate and apologize to Black residents for harm caused by discriminatory policies over generations after the state’s reparations task force voted to approve recommendations Saturday.
The nine-member committee – first convened nearly two years ago – approved a hefty list of proposals during a meeting Saturday.
Though the meeting and the vote marked a crucial moment in the fight for atonement for generations of harm by discriminatory policies on the local, state and federal level, the proposals are far from approved policy.
