California is one step closer to providing African American reparations for slavery.
In a stunning 56-5 vote, the California assembly decided to move forward with creating a “task force” to study reparations for the state’s black citizens.
The vote was met with praise from Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Garcetti tweeted:
I support the legislative package put forward by the CA Legislative Black Caucus chairs @AsmShirleyWeber and @SteveBradford — to restore voting rights to those serving parole, end the CA ban on affirmative action, seek reparations for Black Americans and more.
