Standpoint when slavery ended with the 13th amendment and soon after the chinese communities were excluded from entering the countries due to the chinese exclusion act of 1882. In rent history the black community was red lined to the out skirts of the city. Japanese americans were sent to internment camps. They have been targeted and most recently the newly latin students. The trauma continues to exist in our communities today. This is not the america we envisioned but this can be the San Francisco that we need to correct the wrongs of history. We cannot forget the pain and suffering of aning of ancestors. We are the wildest dreams of ancestors whose voices were silenced. Here i stand before you to open the conversation on reparations to lead to a plan with a reparations package for black people in this city. The institution of slavery broke up families and matched away the opportunity to create wealth and build opportunitying from our families from generation and generation. We are ex

Need to keep saying that. We felt the need to stand up against that not only on the National Stage as it would affect political refugees, but also in the city. Washington journal continues. Host joining us now is the cato lynch. Tes tim he is here to discuss the federal role in reforming state and local Police Departments. They use a much for joining us today. Guest thank you for having me. Host talk about these federal Consent Decrees being reviewed administrations Justice Department. What are they and how are they being used . Guest we normally hear about the federal government intervening but there is a police scandal, maybe an officer involved shooting. Sometimes prosecutors move in to prosecute individual Police Officers. What we are discussing this week is what are called pattern and practice investigations by the department of justice.
