Reparations Revisited

In 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom of California signed legislation creating a two-year reparation task force. California stands as the only state to create a plan to study the institution of slavery, its harms, and to educate the public about its findings. The task force is a body of nine individuals responsible for studying what reparations programs can look like. In late March of 2021, the task force voted to limit state compensation to the descendants of free and enslaved Black people who lived in the US in the 19th century, and in June of 2022, the task force released an interim report that looks at California’s history of slavery since the establishment of the state itself in 1950.
