San Francisco could become the first major U.S. city to fund reparations for slavery and systemic racism.
Some of the things that are being considered include payments of $5 million to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years, and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family.
Critics have slammed it as being financially impossible, with one analyst estimating that each non-Black family in the city would have to pay at least $600,000.
But reparations committee members consider their results to be an accurate estimate of what it would take to begin to repair the enduring damage of slavery and discrimination.
