Genealogy Garage: California Reparations

Chris Lodgson, a lead organizer with the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California and the American Redress Coalition of California--
reparations advocacy groups--will be here to talk to us about the current state of reparations in California, what reparations are, and the steps you might need to take to qualify.

I'm so glad to have received this information. Glad that the governor's initial veto based on a technicality didn't stop the Coalition from getting the bill passed in 2022 and making history. Thank you, Mr. Lodgson! I will be circulating this video around my community.

My thing is why know one is talking with Dr. Henry Gates Jr? He is helping many Celebrities learn about their history on T.V. almost every week. He was the first one I remember talking about ANCESTRY!

Wheres the money talk. They didnt say anything anything about cash payments

The person would have to be born in California but their ancestor could be a slave anywhere in the US during slavery!

[@MR.B1004.]

It should be this, if you have 30% African you should be eligible! No different from Native Americans determining their own requirements for receiving benefits with 30% Native American.

Dont a person last name help determine if you a decendant or not ? My family last name is Johnosn thats not a African last name that came from the Slave master

Great information from Mr. Lodgson. His constant movement very distracting.

[@Zell9408]

This was trash we want cash payments

[@michaelmcgreevy8969]

Reparations never. Let's lift up all Americans from poverty. Work together to ensure equality for all. We should never forget our history. We must make sure it never happens again.

You don’t think that you are owed Reparations?? You shouldn’t be listening to this video. It’s for those of us who believe that we are owed Reparations money 💰
