Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announced an executive order Monday to establish a reparations task force and agenda aimed at addressing historical injustices against the African American community.
The task force will develop a definition and framework for reparations, identifying areas for restorative action such as housing, education, jobs, and criminal justice. It is also responsible for conducting a comprehensive study to catalog policies that have harmed African Americans in Chicago , including controversial real estate practices like redlining and restrictive covenants.Johnson made the announcement during a Juneteenth flag-raising ceremony at Daley Plaza.
However, 38th Ward Alderman Nick Sposato, a frequent critic of the mayor, expressed skepticism, suggesting the money could be better spent elsewhere and raising concerns about eligibility and funding sources for reparations."It's too divisive, it's gonna divide us even more," Sposato said. "I don't know what the fairness about it would be. Maybe the report will say it's unnecessary, but I highly doubt that.
