Last week the California Reparations Task Force recommended that lawmakers provide a formal apology for slavery and billions of dollars in compensation payments to qualified African Americans.

 

 

The L.A. Times reports that money would be for generations of government-approved racial discrimination, health disparities, mass incarceration, and housing discrimination

 

 

There is no word on whether lawmakers even support this proposal.
