A San Francisco committee studying reparations has proposed a one-time payment of $5 million to each eligible African-American inhabitant of the city as recompense for the “decades of harm they have experienced,” according to a report on Monday.
The 15-member panel was established by San Francisco supervisors in May 2021. A separate task force created by California’s legislature is also studying reparations.says: “Reparation must be adequate, effective, prompt, and should be proportional to the gravity of the violations and the harm suffered.”
The report notes that while neither California nor San Francisco “formally adopted the institution of chattel slavery,” other aspects of segregation like white supremacy and “systematic repression” found in the legal system, “social codes” and “extralegal actions” were designed to exclude blacks.
