The harm slavery caused Black Americans continues to be felt today. It is my hope that as the nation's largest city—with the biggest municipal budget—our truth, healing, and reconciliation process will work; it will identify racist, anti-Black policies at the foundation of our city's institutions and it will yield material solutions to address these foundational cracks.
By documenting and quantifying the impacts of enslavement and its legacies, while recommending concrete measures for redress, we take a crucial step towards justice and equity.
