Lawmakers Vote to Develop Reparations Proposals for African Americans

Dr. Boris Ricks is Director at the Center for Southern California Studies, California State University-Northridge: “How are we going to actualize reparations? For example, Japanese Americans received $1.6 billion – about $20,000 each. However, when we talk about the African American community, we talk about compensation that exceeds $800 billion. That’s 800 times more than the Japanese Americans. Does this compensation come in the form of health disparities, economic injustices, civil rights violations, or police violence?”, he asked.
