The city council of Asheville, North Carolina, voted unanimously on Tuesday night to apologize for the city’s role in historic discrimination against its black citizens, and offer reparations for their descendants.
According to The Asheville Citizen-Times, the resolution, titled “Resolution Supporting Community Reparations For Black Asheville,” was passed 7-0 and does not offer direct payments, but will instead seek to rectify historical disparities among the city’s black community with investment-based solutions.
