What could reparations look like and how will they impact you? Here's what to know ahead of a monumental report set to be released Thursday.
What is California's reparations task force and what is the purpose?
The "40" in the name references the famous "40 acres and a mule" promise made to formerly enslaved people during the Civil War, a promise that was unfulfilled.While the task force is expected to release its final panel of reparations proposals on Thursday in Sacramento, the group has publicly debated and voted on the proposals that will be presented in the report. Some of the proposals were revealed in the task force's 500-page interim report released in the summer 2022.
Although the reparations task force has created calculations for potential direct cash payments, members of the taskforce and experts have made it clear that reparations will be proposed in a number of forms including targeted policy changes and programs directed to benefit Black Californians that have long been disadvantaged.
Didn't California enter the union as a free state? Why should California be responsible for reparations? Lewis suggests that those "lingering effects" of slavery, anti-Black racism and exclusionary policies are still felt by Black folks today. "The kind of principles that were first enacted during slavery found themselves showing up in various ways, soon thereafter, and have in many ways continued to impact the lives and opportunities for African Americans in the state of California," he added.
