It’s not clear how many Californians are descended from slaves, but that's one of the questions this task force — should the Legislature approve the bill — will attempt to answer and develop reparation proposals. From AbcarianLAT for latimesopinion:
Shirley N. Weber, a Democratic assemblywoman who represents parts of San Diego and its suburbs, practically exploded when I asked her whether two recent bills she has authored are intended as symbolic, amounting to mere consciousness-raising for Californians.
The other, if it makes it through the state Legislature, would create a task force to study and develop reparation proposals for the state’s African Americans, who have suffered lasting effects from injustices like slavery, Jim Crow laws, redlining, unequal education and mass incarceration. In Sacramento, said Weber, who chairs the California Legislative Black Caucus, construction of a new state building caused concern.
