San Francisco's Reparations Plan Sparks Controversy and Criticism.

San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously accepted the African American Reparations Advisory Committee's comprehensive proposal, moving it to the next stage of a legislative process where the biggest decisions still lay ahead. Black committee members who authored the proposal received the brunt of the backlash, with letters and phone calls that veered from hateful to downright threatening. Despite the city’s reputation as a progressive stronghold, recent years have shown San Francisco isn’t immune to being swayed by conservative ideology on critical issues, whether it’s policing or criminal justice reform.
