Considering that the Democratic Party pushed to keep the institution of slavery, perhaps we’ve found who should be paying these reparations. (Drink Diamond and Silk\/The Donald Win)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The California assembly passed a bill, 56-5, taking the first step towards reparations. A committee would be set up to determine who would be illegible to receive these reparations. The people that would be selected to lead this committee would have to have backgrounds in racial justice reform. However, it has to pass the Senate and be signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n

From CBS Sacramento:<\/span><\/p>\n

Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Democrat from San Diego who wrote the bill, said the study would reiterate California’s history of abetting slavery, even as it joined the union as a “free state” in 1850.<\/p>\n

“The discriminatory practices of the past echo into the everyday lives of today’s Californians,” said Weber, who leads the Legislative Black Caucus.<\/p>\n

The panel would start meeting no later than June 2021<\/p>\n

Congress last June held the first hearing on reparations in over a decade about a bill to study providing compensation to atone for the country’s history of slavery. But the legislation did not make it to a vote.<\/p>\n

The federal government has given reparations before. After 120,000 Japanese Americans were held at internment camps during World War II, the U.S. government apologized and in 1988 paid $20,000 to each surviving victim.<\/p>\n

“We seem to recognize that justice requires that those who have been treated unjustly need the means to make themselves whole again,” Weber said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, their Black Caucus hopes to get the affirmative-action ban repealed. CBS Sacramento has the story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
