California's reparations task force voted unanimously Saturday in favor of an agency that would provide certain services to descendants of Black enslaved people while overseeing groups that provide other services.
SACRAMENTO -- Nearly two years into the California reparations task force's work, the group still has yet to make key decisions that will be at the heart of its final report recommending how the state should apologize and compensate Black residents for the harms caused by slavery and discrimination.
Task force Chair Kamilah Moore said Saturday's vote was necessary to take into account input from residents who gave public comments in favor of an agency with the power to provide services. The work of the task force has captured widespread attention, a result of being the first of its kind in the country. But some used the group's latest two-day meeting in Sacramento to warn that not enough Black Californians are sufficiently informed about its work.
The two-day gathering in Sacramento, the state's capital, comes as the group approaches its July 1 deadline to release a report for lawmakers. The document will represent a milestone in a growing push for reparations efforts in different parts of the country.
Dozens of advocates and residents came from across the state to the California Environmental Protection Agency building to give public comments Friday and Saturday that ranged from detailing family histories of having property seized from ancestors to calling on federal lawmakers to follow California's lead.
Those economists said Friday that some of the data and information they would need to come up with additional estimates for the impact of harms include figures on the gap between what the government paid Black residents for property it seized and the actual value of that property.
