San Francisco's African American Reparations Advisory Committee is preparing to present its initial report to that city's supervisors.
The committee has already recommended payments of $5 million to some Black residents to atone for historical problems.Last month San Francisco's African American Reparations Advisory Committee presented its first draft looking at the idea of how a legacy of racism has harmedCommittee Chair Eric McDonnell says despite the city's reputation for being progressive, past policies have systematically disenfranchised black residents.
Since the initial report, many have focused on one of the committee's recommendations that qualifying African Americans should receive one-time payments of $5 million but less has been made of the reasons behind the committee's work, and where the city goes from here. "Of course reparations would be a good idea, you know what I mean," said Pierce. "All the promises that our people had over the years. You know, the chicken in every pot and 20 acres and a mule and all those lies."
