Reparation ‘Down Payment’ Demanded by State Task Force

Black residents of California should be given a slavery reparation “down payment” as soon as possible, a slavery task force has told the state.

California should aim to hand out a reparation “down payment” to its black residents as soon as possible, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) state task force has now recommended.

Started in the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement, the slavery reparation panel has been tasked with figuring out exactly how much California — which joined the Union as a free state in 1850 — owes its black residents, with estimates previously rising as high as $800 billion, nearly three times the state’s total annual budget.
