California Governor Signs AB 3089, Formal Apology for State's Role in Slavery
Sep 27, 2024, 10:40 AM
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a formal apology for the state's historical role in slavery and its lingering effects on Black Americans. The apology is part of a package of reparations bills introduced this year, including AB 3089 by Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer. The legislation aims to address the state's legacy of racism and discrimination. It includes a formal apology letter acknowledging the state's complicity in gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity, particularly against African slaves and their descendants. Newsom's action marks a significant step in California's efforts to make amends for past injustices, although he vetoed other bills sought by reparations supporters.
