Top news right now: California’s Reparations Task Force has recommended that the state pay each of its Black residents up to $1.25 million in compensation for slavery. The task force, established by Governor Gavin Newsom, has concluded that the state owes its Black residents up to $3 trillion, based on its history of slavery and systemic discrimination. The panel voted on a public meeting in Oakland to issue a formal apology for California’s role in enforcing runaway slave laws during the 19th century. The proposal includes compensation for health disparities, mass incarceration, over-policing of African Americans, and housing discrimination. Whether the recommendations will be adopted remains an open question as the state faces a budget deficit. Follow Next News for more breaking news.
