"California's Reparations Realities and Challenges"

California Democratic state Sen. Steven Bradford, who served on the California Reparations Task Force, warned African Americans not to expect million-dollar payouts from the state for historical discrimination. The task force recommended that the state pay up to $1.2 million in reparations to each eligible Black resident. Bradford said that while cash payments are possible, receiving seven-figure checks is "just not happening" as the state has not figured out where the money would come from. The task force also recommended that the state apologize to Black residents.
