California’s reparations task force has approved recommendations which could give black residents $1.2million each as compensation for slavery and discrimination.
The nine-member committee voted Saturday to approve proposals on how the state can compensate and apologize for generations of harm caused by discriminatory policies.
A black resident in California who has lived in the state their whole life until the age of 71 could receive more than $1.2million in compensation, if the recommendations are forged into law.
