The slavery reparations movement has hit a turning point with the release of a 500-page report in California. The report is a major step toward setting the stage for an official government apology and case for financial reparations.
“Once again, California is leading the nation, in a bipartisan way, on issues of racial justice and equity, which is a long overdue discussion, we must have – not just in a single state, but across America,” Newsom said in a statement, adding that his office is still reviewing the document.
African Americans make up nearly 6% of California’s population yet they are overrepresented in jails, youth detention centers and prisons. About 28% of people imprisoned in California are Black and in 2019, African American youth made up 36% of minors ordered into state juvenile detention facilities.
The group recommends creating a state-subsidized mortgage program to guarantee low rates for qualifying African American applicants, free health care, free tuition to California colleges and universities and scholarships to African American high school graduates to cover four years of undergraduate education.
