Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has launched a task force to explore reparations for Black residents of the city. Johnson signed an executive order to establish the Reparations Task Force, which will study Chicago's laws and policies, hold public hearings, and make recommendations for remedies. The initiative includes a $500,000 allocation to study the reparations plan. Johnson emphasized that systemic racism has led to significant issues in the city, including pollution, violence, and disinvestment in Black communities. The task force aims to address these historical injustices and create a framework for reparations, which could include financial payments, social service benefits, and land grants. The announcement was made during a Juneteenth speech, and Johnson also named a chief equity officer to support the initiative.
