Reparations for Black Americans Becoming More Widespread

Reparations have continued to make headlines across the country. In Congress, House Bill H.R. 40 would create a commission to look at the impact of slavery from 1619 to today.

In Evanston, Illinois, lawmakers approved the “Restorative Housing Reparations Program,” as they offered qualified Black residents $25,000 for repairs or down payment on a house.
