California signs law that will enable reparations paid to blacks
California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law on September 30 to allow the descendants of black slaves to receive compensation. He said he wanted to see the measure “resonate throughout the United States”.
SacramentoThe subject has already been debated for some time in the country. According to the American media, the creation of a working group will decide on eligible recipients.
“As a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive,” Newsom said in a statement. “Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic institutions.”
Not only will payments be required, but the task force will privilege blacks who are descendants of slaves.
