California Gov. Gavin Newsom declines to publicly say whether he’d support reparations payments to some Black state residents
California’s governor has declined to publicly say whether he’d support reparations payments to some Black state residents recommended by a task force looking at how to mitigate injustices and discrimination stemming from slavery. The recommendations approved Saturday outline restitution that, if approved by state lawmakers, could cost billions of dollars to address historical disparities in health care, housing and policing. “Dealing with legacy is about much more than cash payments,” Gov.
While federal reparations efforts have stalled in Congress, pushes in California and some US cities to atone for harms rooted in slavery – and address the racial wealth gap – have gained momentum since the 2020 police killing of George Floyd rekindled the Black Lives Matter movement. The California task force’s recommendations will be presented at its next meeting, then to the state Legislature by July 1.
