.RepBarbaraLee applauded the recommendation of paying reparations to black residents in California, calling the move a “human right” that has been “long overdue” for decades. 'We must repair this damage,' Lee said during a meeting with the Task Force.
“Reparations are not a luxury for our people, but a human right long overdue for millions of Americans,” Lee said during a meeting with California's Reparations Task Force on Saturday. “The atrocities committed against black Americans are undeniable, and reparations are a tangible route to acknowledging and making amends to the glaring economic and social impacts of slavery and systemic racism. We must repair this damage.
The reparations proposal comes after Newsom signed legislation in 2020 to create a task force assigned to calculate the economic damages of racially biased policies in the state. That move was met with mixed reactions, as some supported reparation payments while others pushed back on such steep costs.
“There is no equality without equity,” Lee said. “Reparations are not only morally justifiable, but they have the potential to address long-standing racial disparities and inequality.”
