California’s Reparations Task Force has begun tackling questions of how to structure the state's reparations program for Black residents whose families suffered from slavery.
whose families have been harmed by slavery and its ongoing economic repercussions, how should the program be structured?
Amos Brown, the panel’s vice chair and a longtime civil rights leader, said the process came down to three “A’s” — admitting the problems of the past; atoning for them by identifying appropriate reparations; and acting on that information in a unified way to make sure state legislators, who would finalize a program, follow through and get the work done.
Such factors include the government’s unjust taking of property through eminent domain; the devaluation of Black businesses; disproportionate incarceration and over-policing in Black communities; and discrimination in housing, healthcare and education. The panel also identified factors for which monetary compensation may not be possible to calculate, but that still need to be addressed, including political disenfranchisement; the pathologizing of Black families by authorities; the wresting of control over creative, cultural and intellectual Black life by others in society; and the wealth gap between Black people and others.
