California's Reparations Task Force put out its final report into discrimination Black Americans have faced, claiming some of them may be owed $1 million.
Several of the attendees at the California Department of Justice’s final Reparations Task Force meeting created a scene during the public comment section of the event Thursday, demanding reparations from the board., California’s Reparations Task Force put out a nearly 1,100 page-long report declaring the monetary compensation that African American state residents may be eligible to receive from the government for historical discrimination.
The document also offers the state suggestions for how to issue a formal apology for the state’s history of discrimination, as well makes recommendations for how to create educational curriculums based on its findings. The report went through each of these categories, noting why payment is owed to certain Black state residents for each. According to the findings, there has been unequal treatment between Black Americans and White Americans in the healthcare system resulting in a loss of value of $967,000 over the lifetime of an average Black state resident.
In terms of housing discrimination, the report noted that since 1850, Black homeownership in California has been disproportionately lower than White homeownership. Factors contributing to this over time include redlining and zoning rules that promoted segregation.
