14 Bills Address the Legacy of Slavery and Racism in California

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

After two years of work examining the legacy of slavery and racism, the California Legislative Black Caucus is prioritizing 14 bills aimed at addressing past wrongs. The bills range from ending involuntary servitude in prison to banning discrimination based on hair styles and a formal apology for the damage done by California’s role in supporting slavery before the Civil War. But one thing that's not on the agenda is cash payments for California residents who are descendants of slaves.  Scott is joined by KQED's Guy Marzorati and Annelise Finney to talk about the importance of these bills as hearings get underway.  Check out KQED's bill tracker following the progress of those 14 reparations bills.  Learn more about your ad choices.
