On Tuesday, during the last week of Black History Month, the 11 members of the city's Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to pass a resolution that includes a formal apology and commits to the rectification and redress of past policies and misdeeds, the resolution states.
San Francisco is the second major US city to issue an apology to Black residents, after Boston passed a similar edict in 2022, apologizing for the role played by the City of Boston in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the ongoing detrimental impacts experienced by the Black people of Boston, according to the resolution and a statement from the city.
