State Reparations Draft Recommends $1.2M Payments for Black Californians

NBC Universal, Inc. Economists advising California’s Reparations Task Force are recommending payments of up to $1.2 million for Black Californians.

Economists advising California's reparations task force are recommending payments of up to $1.2 million for Black Californians.

This is separate from San Francisco's reparations task force.

These payment estimates are a rough estimate of what it would cost the state to compensate Black people for the state's history of slavery.

However, it’s a draft report, not a final recommendation.

Task force members are expected to vote on whether to adopt the draft report on Saturday in Oakland, before the panel prepares its final report for the legislature.
