FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:   

(3:21)  – BLACKURATE NEWS 

o    Officials in California introduced a series of reparations bills as a part of the state’s effort to make amends for the long-lasting effects of slavery and systemic racism but no financial compensation was a part of the package. 

o    Democratic state assembly member, Lori Wilson: “While many only associate direct cash payments with reparations, the true meaning of the word, to repair, involves much more. We need a comprehensive approach to dismantling the legacy of slavery and systemic racism.” 

o    State Sen. Steven Bradford, a Democrat from Los Angeles, authored a clause called “property takings” which provides some monetary benefits. The provision would, “Restore property taken during raced-based uses of eminent domain to its original owners or provide another effective remedy where appropriate, such as restitution or compensation.”  

(7:22)  – POP CULTURE – SLEEP  

• I’m willing to bet y’all haven’t heard the term– sleep tourism. 
• Sleep tourism means people are traveling (or booking stay-cations) to sleep at hotels.  
• Hotels.com released a survey revealing that three out of four Americans said they slept better at hotels.  

• The reasons behind that include hotel amenities, the ability to forego responsibilities temporarily, and even better bedding.
