SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Residents of Sacramento and visitors from nearby regions have an opportunity Friday and Saturday to join the conversation regarding reparations in California.
It’s the final pair of public meetings the reparations task force will hold anywhere in the state. The purpose of the gatherings are to hear public comments from everyday citizens about the effort toward creating a reparations plan.
Residents, particularly those of Black or African descent who have been impacted by the legacy of slavery and discrimination in the U.S., are encouraged to provide their own personal stories. They can also talk about how reparations would affect them positively or how the current recommendations have excluded them.
