California's historic reparations measures for Black descendants of enslaved people are stalling at the last moment, despite years of effort from lawmakers.
Sen. Steven Bradford's ambitious reparations bills would create an agency to help Black Californians who want to confirm their eligibility for compensation.
Gov. Newsom's administration proposed to shift focus from creating a reparations agency to studying the issue further, which advocates oppose.
Advocates argue that four years of study have already proven the need for reparations, and now the focus should be on implementation.
