A task force focusing on reparations for black Americans met for the first time Tuesday in California, where participants discussed possible compensation for those who are descendants of slaves, The Associated Press (AP) reported Wednesday.
The task force, composed of nine members, was established after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill in early May that was authored by Democratic Assemblymember Shirley Weber. The task force members included descendants of slaves who are now lawyers, academics and politicians, according to the AP. Weber has since entered the role of California’s secretary of state.
“I’m so thankful to my ancestors, who survived so much trauma, so much pain, so much tragedy, so much brutality, so that I could live,” Lisa Holder, a civil rights attorney in Los Angeles, said, according to the AP. “And I am ready to fight to deliver them our ancestors justice.” ....
