Newsom signs apology for slavery, bucks reparations payments
==========
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an official apology on September 26, 2024, for the state's historical racism and discrimination against Black residents, addressing 'African slaves and their descendants.' The apology acknowledges over 2,000 African slaves entered California from 1850 to 1860 and recognizes the state's role in promoting slavery and racial disparities. Newsom has vetoed two bills from the Legislative Black Caucus aimed at compensating Black residents for property lost due to racially motivated eminent domain seizures, stating that reparations should encompass more than cash payments. An online survey from UC Berkeley found that voters oppose state-issued reparation payments, which could cost upwards of $800 billion.
