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.
A vote possibly slated for this weekend on requirements for who would be eligible for payments and other remedies was delayed because of the absence of one of the committee’s nine members. But the group may vote Saturday on whether lawmakers should create an agency to implement an eventual reparations program.
"This room should be filled with media, and it’s not because Black people are a pariah," Los Angeles lawyer Cheryce Cryer said Saturday. "We are at the bottom of the totem pole." "It doesn’t take a genius to see that there are differences in the society as a result of what we have encountered as Black people," Alami said.
The task force has spent multiple meetings discussing what time frames reparations could hinge on for five harms economists are pursuing estimates for to help quantify the extent of discriminatory policies against Black Californians. Task force member Monica Montgomery Steppe voiced concerns Friday about making 1977 the cutoff year for housing discrimination and homelessness, given that Black residents make upof Californians experiencing homelessness. That year was proposed based on the passage of the Community Reinvestment Act, a federal law spurring lending in low- and middle-income neighborhoods.
