Description
"The California Reparations Report is the Final Report of the California Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans. This Report is the culmination of the Task Force's fulfillment of the mandates of Assembly Bill 3121 (2020), which created the Task Force and its charge: to study the institution of slavery and its lingering negative effects, and recommend appropriate remedies for African Americans, with a special consideration for descendants of persons enslaved in the United States. The Report is divided into nine parts that together memorialize the past and present and recommend a way forward. Part I documents the atrocities of enslavement and the persisting badges and incidents of slavery. This Part focus on enslavement, racial terror, political disenfranchisement, housing segregation, separate and unequal education, racism in the environment and infrastructure, the pathologization of the African American family, an unjust legal system, mental and physical harm and neglect, and the wealth gap. Part I demonstrates that neither Emancipation nor the more recent formal end to legalized discrimination halted or repaired the harms done. The legacy of slavery lives on in every facet of life. Part II provides an overview of the Principles of Reparation under international law-including the requirements of restitution, compensation, satisfaction, rehabilitation, and guarantees of non-repetition-along with examples of reparatory efforts undertaken in the United States and elsewhere across the globe. Part III provides the Task Force's recommendation for an apology from California. Part IV sets forth methodologies for calculating compensation and restitution for those who the Task Force recommends received it. Part V offers the Task Force's policy recommendations to address the ongoing harms outlined in Part I. Part VI reports out on a survey regarding race data collection practices of prosecutors and courts across California, and Part VII reports on community perspectives regarding reparations. Part VIII provides the Task Force's recommendations for educating the public about reparations for African Americans. Part IX provides a compendium of key federal and California court decisions and statutes impacting African Americans"--
