California is the first state in the nation to have a reparations task force to explore compensating Black Americans for slavery, which caused generations of racial disparities. The group has been split over who should be eligible for restitution: all Black Californians or those who can trace their lineage to slavery. Columnist Justin Phillips joins host Cecilia Lei to discuss why requiring Black Californians to prove their ancestry might be unfair. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
