In 2020, when Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation creating the two-year reparations task force, California became the only state to take such an action.
At the very start it was clear that such a step would not run smoothly and now we learn that after a vote of 5-4, the task force has limited the state compensation to just the descendants of free and enslaved people in the U.S.
Perhaps this will stimulate the federal government to take up the issue; some cities such as Providence, Rhode Island, Evanston, Illinois, and Boston have already begun commissions to study the problem. But this inactivity should not mean defeat. For example, just the other day President Biden signed the Emmett Till Bill into law making lynching a federal crime, a measure that failed again and again, more than 200 times before success.
