Far-left group calls out New York officials for taking too long to issue reparations as 'disservice' to Blacks
The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) criticized New York officials for delaying the release of a state reparations report until 2029, calling the extension a 'disservice' to Black communities. The delay, embedded in the state budget, adds three years to the timeline for a report examining slavery's legacy and proposing remedies. NYCLU's Chantelle Williams emphasized ongoing harm from discrimination and questioned lawmakers' commitment to addressing systemic inequality.
