The St. Louis Reparations Commission has unveiled its final report, addressing the long-standing injustices and the effects of systemic racism on the city’s Black residents, while presenting recommendations aimed at advancing racial equity.
The report covers a range of areas, including neighborhoods, housing, education, public health, and overall well-being.
“The release of this report marks a critical moment for our city,” said Kayla Reed, Chairperson of the Commission, in a news release. “These recommendations offer a path toward healing and justice, addressing generations of systemic racism and economic exclusion. If we implement them, we can begin to close the racial wealth gap and build a St. Louis where every resident has the opportunity to thrive.”
