California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed legislation on Wednesday that will establish a nine-member state task force to study slavery and explore the potential avenues for reparations for African Americans.
“As a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive. Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic institutions,” said Newsom in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
