The Californian Reparations Task Force, which seeks to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to each black state resident, is due to meet later this week.
The nine-member task force, comprising eight black members and one Asian member, was created through Assembly Bill 3121 on Sept. 20, 2020, in the wake of the George Floyd riots.The force was tasked with researching California's liability in racist practices that affected the black community and coming up with a proper figure of financial compensation. Its next meeting is due to take place on Friday and Saturday in Sacramento, according to CapRadio.
The purpose of the committee is" to study and develop reparation proposals for African Americans; to recommend appropriate ways to educate the California public of the task force's findings; and to recommend appropriate remedies in consideration of the Task Force’s findings," according to its website.
However, that figure only covers housing discrimination, and the group is still set to calculate the cost of a variety of other discriminatory policies. That means the final recommended reparations total will be much higher. The final figure is expected to be given in June, along with the committee's final report.
