. Despite their desire for financial restitution, most Black Californians remain incredulous.
“Far too many Blacks in California have not been able to overcome the insidious obstacles that exist for our economic rise and are unable to get bank loans to improve their property while their children attend schools with the most limited resources and are subject to the tyranny of poverty,” Alim said. “Reparations would make a great difference for all of us in accumulating and passing on generational wealth.

They talk about putting things back into the Black community or making sure we have these programs and centers. But, hey, the Black community here, because of gentrification, is almost nonexistent. It’s nothing like it was.Michelle J.
