“40 Acres and a Mule” California’s Reparations Task Force: The idea of reparations for African-Americans has been around since President Lincoln signed Field Order 15, promising “40 acres and as mule” to former slaves. The order was rescinded by President Andrew Johnson after Lincoln was assassinated. Over the many, many decades since, multiple efforts have been made to come up with a reparations plan but none have been successful. Enter AB 3121, written by former Assemblymember and now CA Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber. It created a Reparations Task Force and that Task Force is about to deliver its proposal to the State Legislature. Will these recommendations result in reparations? We talk with Task Force Member and Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer. by Look West: How California is Leading the Nation
