BOS President Shamann Walton leads Reparations plan for Black San Franciscans!
May 5, 2021
Our District 10 Sup. Shamann Walton, president of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, expects to make his mark in history with the first comprehensive reparations plan in a major US city. He had introduced the legislation to create a reparations advisory board in October. Here, he speaks passionately at a Juneteenth 2020 rally to commemorate the life of George Floyd and others killed by police. It’s important to remember that atrocities against Black people continue, most famously in still rampant police murders and, just as devastating, such assaults as the economic lockout that keeps most Blacks poor and exploited. – Photo: Kevin Hume, SF Examiner
