A California plan to financially compensate the descendants of enslaved African Americans could potentially see 2.8 million people in the state receive reparations, though details of the plan are not yet available.
California's Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans published its interim report in June about the state's historic role in slavery.
That report did not outline how a program of reparations would work, but a detailed plan is expected in the task force's final report, due out in 2023. It may have major implications for California's Black population.
About 2.8 million Black people live in California-less than 6 percent of the state's population-but it's not yet clear how many would qualify for reparations payments.
