San Francisco's Reparations Plan Sparks Controversy and Debate

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has accepted a draft plan of over 100 recommendations for reparations to eligible Black residents, including a one-time payment of $5 million to each adult, clearing of personal debt, an annual income of at least $97,000 for 250 years, and the ability to buy homes within the city limits for $1. However, the move was largely procedural and doesn't bind the city to any of the proposals. Some activists criticize the plan as unrealistic and political theatrics designed to delay meaningful change, while others believe the proposals are an important first step toward justice.
