California Reparations Committee Urged to Increase Funding Beyond $5 Million by Activists.

Activists in California demand millions of dollars in reparations for each Black resident as a way to make amends for slavery and subsequent discrimination, dismissing the idea of payments of $5 million per person as "too little." The California Reparations Task Force is considering a proposal to give just under $360,000 per person to approximately 1.8 million Black Californians who had an ancestor enslaved in the U.S., putting the total cost of the program at about $640 billion. Meanwhile, the city of San Francisco is weighing its own reparations proposals at the local level.
