As state lawmakers consider the issue of reparations for slavery in New Jersey, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, (D-New Jersey), is rekindling the debate in Washington.
School funding in New Jersey remains unequal despite four decades of efforts to address the effects of segregation, according to a new report that argues for reparations including direct rebates to Black and Hispanic households.
Black lawmakers and advocacy groups are advocating for legislative leaders to hold hearings in March on a bill creating a New Jersey Reparations Task Force.
