A city official from San Francisco, California, said the draft plan for black residents to receive $5 million in reparations is not enough for proper compensation.
Tuesday the 5 million number, which the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee said would remedy previous discrimination against black city residents, is"much less than a lot of the projections that people say black people should receive for reparations here in the United States.
Walton, who introduced the resolution to explore reparations in February 2020, defended the potential payments, saying that past discrimination by the city and state has put black families at a disadvantage. “In San Francisco, black families were not allowed to be taught, but we still had to pay taxes for the education of white children. I would say that black neighborhoods and communities were created here in San Francisco without the benefit of representation. I would say that there were racial restrictions indoctrinated in city policy that said black people couldn’t buy or lease property," Walton said.
California was not a slave state when slavery was legal in the United States before the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
