Reparation Efforts Stall In Santa Monica
Manage episode 436307534 series 1761649
It's the last week for state lawmakers to decide on a set of reparation bills meant to address hundreds of years of racial discrimination. Meanwhile in Santa Monica, one woman is still seeking justice decades after the city took her father's land. Silas White was a black entrepreneur who planned to turn the land into a beach club for black beach goers. In March, the Santa Monica City Council voted to explore compensating White's descendants for his plot of land. But in late July, the city missed its self-imposed deadline for a report that would have provided recommendations on reparations to the council.
Guests: Connie White, daughter of Silas White and Kavon Ward, CEO of Where Is My Land
State occupational health and safety regulators are trying to speed up their investigations of fatal accidents.
Reporter: Farida Jhabvala Romero, KQED
