In just over a month, on Juneteenth, New Jersey is set to release a preliminary report providing one of the nation’s most comprehensive analyses on reparations. This study aims to address economic, legal, and political inequalities stemming from slavery, Jim Crow laws, and other historical injustices.
New Jersey’s initiative seeks to serve as a blueprint for rectifying injustices that span four centuries. The detailed findings and proposals will be unveiled on June 19.
PIX11 News has obtained an early preview of the report and delved into the issues and historical context behind the forthcoming recommendations.
