A city-appointed reparations committee is also considering guaranteed annual incomes, wiping out personal debt and tax burdens, and homes for just $1 a family.

In San Francisco, Black residents once made up more than 13% of the city’s population, but more than 50 years later, they account for less than 6% of the city’s residents — and 38% of its homeless population. The Fillmore District once thrived with Black-owned night clubs and shops until government redevelopment in the 1960s forced out residents.

Critics say the payouts make no sense in a state and city that never enslaved Black people. Opponents generally say taxpayers who were never slave owners should not have to pay money to people who were not enslaved.Advocates say that view ignores a wealth of data and historical evidence showing that long after U.S.

People react to speakers during a special Board of Supervisors hearing about reparations in San Francisco on Tuesday.“If you’re going to try to say you’re sorry, you have to speak in the language that people understand, and money is that language,” he said.
