California’s first-in-the-nation reparations task force is meeting for the final time in a crowded hearing room in Sacramento. Members chanted for reparations as the task force prepared to submit its final report to lawmakers Thursday. The findings document the state’s role in perpetuating discrimination against Black residents and includes more than 100 policy recommendations. Recommendations include apologizing to descendants of Black people enslaved in the U.S. and paying them reparations. The nine-member panel began meeting in June 2021. Critics say people who never owned slaves should not have to pay reparations to people who are not enslaved today.
