Some New Yorkers demand $800K each in reparations as state commission holds hearing

Some New Yorkers demand $800K each in reparations as state commission holds hearing Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill in 2023 creating a commission to study slavery in New York and examine forms of reparations

With things being handed down from the federal government regarding Reparations for treason and Voting restrictions this is a pivotal and opportune time for local officials to stand in unity with their black citizens and descendants of chattel slavery.

If the City of Durham, NC Government and Durham County Government can designate the city as a 4A workplace as a show of solidarity to its Latino/Hispanic citizens why cant they pass a resolution in support of their African American citizens?

This is not meant to besmirch or slight the hispanic community.

Its a question to highlight a contradiction.

The rights of the black community are under attack but we get silence where others get protection and resources.
