California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a handful of bills on Thursday that stemmed from a yearslong effort to issue race-based reparations for the state’s Black residents and their descendants. Members of the California Legislative Black Caucus heralded his signature on four bills, including an apology for the state’s role in promoting slavery.
The Black Caucus chair, Assemblymember Lori Wilson, said the caucus had concerns about the bills “from the beginning” and that “the governor’s concerns were no surprise to us.” She declined to comment on what specifically the other concerns were, arguing that any changes would be clear when the legislation would be reintroduced in the next session. The centerpiece of Bradford’s reparations package was the Freedmen Affairs Agency, which would have overseen state reparations initiatives.
