The Skanner News - San Francisco Is Ready to Apologize to Black Residents. Reparations Advocates Want More

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco’s supervisors plan to offer a formal apology to Black residents for decades of racist laws and policies perpetrated by the city. Reparations advocates say an apology is crucial, yet insufficient on its own for true atonement. All 11 supervisors have signed on as sponsors of an apology resolution to be voted on Tuesday.

The panel also recommended every eligible Black adult receive $5 million in cash, but that and other heftier proposals have gone nowhere.
