Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has announced the formation of a new taskforce aimed at considering reparations for Black Chicagoans.
According to the press release, the taskforce will conduct a study and examination of “all policies that have harmed Black Chicagoans,” ranging from slavery to policies that included redlining and other discriminatory acts. “People always associate reparations with money, but there are policy changes and other items that can be done to repair the harm that such policies have caused,” he said.“It’s about dealing with the policies that created the situations we’re dealing with today,” Ervin said. “I think by studying and understanding what policy changes need to be made to make people whole, that’s the whole purpose of this conversation.
