. The move Tuesday was an intermediate step, with a final report that includes board feedback due in June, the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee said, and the board set to meet again on the issue in September. “Now, the real work continues,” Supervisor Shamann Walton said. “As I’ve said before, we have to stay focused and stay together as a community because now it is 100% more prevalent that we cannot be separated or divided.
And then the next challenge will be, where does that money actually come from? Who is responsible for that,” San Francisco Republican Party Chairman John Dennis told CNN affiliate KGO in January. Members of the public who addressed city lawmakers Tuesday supported dozens of the reparations advisory committee’s recommendations related to financial reparations, housing, job creation, education, the school-to-prison pipeline, health and other local policies.
