California will develop a detailed plan for granting reparations to Black Americans under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday. The law creates a nine-member task force to come up with proposals for how the state could provide reparations to Black Americans, what form those reparations might take and who would be eligible to receive them. The reparations would not be limited to slavery, but the law requires the task force to give special consideration for Black people who are descendants of slaves.
