BALTIMORE, MD (WEAA) — A House committee voted to advance a decades-long effort to create a commission to study the effects of slavery and reparations for Black Americans.
This is the first time the bill, H.R. 40, has made it out of the Judiciary Committee since it was originally introduced by Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) in 1989.
The bill now moves to a full House vote.
Maryland State Senator Antonio Hayes, Dr. Raymond Winbush, director of the Institute for Urban Research at Morgan State University and Nadia Hyppolite, a researcher for the Reparations Research Group join Farajii Muhammad for the discussion.
