In addition to lump-sum payments of $5 million to those eligible, reparations include establishing an Afrocentric K-12 school in the city and mandating a core Black history and culture curriculum. San Francisco backs idea of reparations to Black people:
SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco supervisors have backed the idea of paying reparations to Black people, but whether members will agree to lump-sumto every eligible person or to any of the more than 100 other recommendations made by an advisory committee won't be known until later this year.
The state of California and the cities of Boston and San Francisco are among jurisdictions trying to atone not just for chattel slavery, but for decades of racist policies and laws that systemically denied Black Americans access to property, education and the ability to build generational wealth.Black migration to San Francisco soared in the 1940s because of shipyard work, but racially restrictive covenants and redlining limited where people could live.
Supporters include the San Francisco NAACP, although it said the board should reject the $5 million payments and focus instead on reparations through education, jobs, housing, health care and a cultural center for Black people in San Francisco. The president of the San Francisco branch is the Rev. Amos C. Brown, who sits on both the statewide and San Francisco reparations panels.
Recommendations in health include free mental health, prenatal care and rehab treatment for impoverished Black San Franciscans, victims of violent crimes and formerly incarcerated people.
