California’s official task force on reparations has delivered its final report to the state legislature.
The report includes a formula for determining direct financial compensation, along with more than 100 other recommendations, including establishing universal health care, implementing rent caps in historically redlined neighborhoods, and making Election Day a paid holiday.

The conversation came right after Nikole published her article “What is Owed” in her role as a staff writer for the New York Times Magazine.
