Descendants of American slaves in California would have at least two pathways for claiming compensation for the injustices and legacy of chattel slavery, the state’s first-in-the-nation task force on reparations decided Wednesday.
One of those avenues is considered a baseline compensation amount that would potentially apply to all descendants of American slaves who meet a California residency requirement. That category is for the general community harm and legacy of slavery, as well as the state’s role in perpetuating racism.
“I want to make it clear that the task force has yet to make any final determinations when it comes to dollar amounts,” task force Chairperson Kamilah Moore said. “I think it’s improper to prejudge what the precise number is that we may recommend.”
