Lawmakers will decide how the state may compensate and apologize to Black residents for generations of harm caused by discriminatory policies.
OAKLAND, Calif. - California’s reparations task force voted Saturday to approve recommendations on how the state may compensate and apologize to Black residents for generations of harm caused by discriminatory policies.
The panel’s first vote approved a detailed account of historical discrimination against Black Californians in areas such as voting, housing, education, disproportionate policing and incarceration and others. Those would include a condemnation of former Gov. Peter Hardeman Burnett, the state’s first elected governor and a white supremacist who encouraged laws to exclude Black people from California.
California has previously apologized for placing Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II and for violence against and mistreatment of Native Americans. Elaine Brown, former Black Panther Party chairwoman, urged people to express their frustrations through demonstrations. The figure in the latest draft report released by the task force is far lower. The group has not responded to email and phone requests for comment on the reduction.
