Will Reparations Repair the Past?
Manage episode 359760518 series 2649065
Boston’s new Reparations Task Force.
The 10 members task force was announced in February to examine the history of slavery in Boston, its impact on descendants today, and provide suggestions to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu on repairing the harm to Black residents of Boston. Other states around the country, including California, and Rhode Island are also exploring reparations and ways to address the the issue. Financial compensation is a top issue around reparations.
Will local and state measures work or will the federal government step in with a national policy?
