California Makes History with $12 Million Reparations Budget
Racial Injustice: California Takes a Step Towards Justice with Landmark Reparations Effort
According to Blackenterprise, California is trying to make things right for people who were treated unfairly because of the color of their skin. The state is giving $12 million to help make this happen. This is a big deal because it’s the first time a state has tried to do this.
Some Americans are happy about this, but others are not. Some people don’t think it’s fair to give money to some people just because of their skin color. But many Black people think it’s important to make up for the harm that was done to them and their families.
