St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones is appointing a reparations commission that will 'recommend a proposal to begin repairing the harms that have been inflicted' by slavery, segregation and racism.
Jones, a Democrat, on Wednesday signed an executive order establishing a volunteer commission that will ultimately recommend how the city should make reparations. The nine-member commission will include a civil rights advocate, clergy member, attorney, academic, public health professional and a youth, the mayor’s office said.
Missouri NAACP President Nimrod Chapel Jr. said segregation and racism have “without a doubt” harmed Blacks in St. Louis and elsewhere in the state.
