New York City lawmakers have approved a bill on Thursday, September 12, 2024, to study the legacy of slavery and consider reparations. The legislation, passed by a vote of 41 to 8, aims to acknowledge and address the impact of slavery and racial injustices in the city. It includes the establishment of a task force to study reparations for Black residents and the installation of a historical marker at the site of New York City's first slave market on Wall Street. The Public Advocate, alongside other officials, has been instrumental in advancing this legislative effort. The bill is part of a broader initiative to educate the public about historical injustices and promote equity in the future.
