Democratic New York congressman Jamal Bowman is advocating for a bill that aims to provide reparations to black Americans. The proposed legislation, which does not yet have a Senate sponsor, would grant approximately $333,000 to each of the estimated 42 million black Americans over a span of several years.
Bowman, a member of the progressive group known as the squad, expressed his support for reparations by highlighting the possibility of distributing the funds incrementally over an extended period. He suggested that the payout could potentially be divided into smaller monthly installments, making it more manageable for recipients.
