(CN) On March 19, Evanston, Illinois, became the first city in the U.S. to compensate Black Americans for slavery. The Evanston City Council approved a reparations program with a vote of 8 to 1, allocating $10 million to be dispersed over the next decade.
Those who are eligible for the program, which is funded by donations and taxes on recreational marijuana, must prove that they’re direct descendants of Black residents in the city between 1919 and 1969.
