In September, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors reviewed a 400-page report outlining more than 100 recommendations on how to provide reparations for the city’s African-American residents. Proposals include establishing a city office dedicated to reparations, programs to support Black-owned businesses, and cash payments to individuals, a suggestion that has stirred controversy. A city commission developed the plan after nearly three years of work, which mirrors a statewide reparations study that is ongoing. We’ll talk about San Francisco’s recommendations, the harms they are meant to repair and what San Franciscans think about it.
