‘40 Acres and a Tesla’? California Considers Reparations for Black Americans


Listen Later

California’s Reparations Task Force has a huge challenge before them: to study and recommend reparation proposals for Black Californians and descendants of enslaved people.

View past meetings and see more about upcoming meetings of the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparations Proposals for African Americans
