This bill, titled the "Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act," aims to address the profound injustices of slavery and its enduring legacy. It establishes a 13-member Commission tasked with comprehensively studying the institution of slavery in the United States and its colonies from 1565 to 1865, as well as the subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African Americans up to the present day. The Commission will investigate the impact of these historical forces on living African Americans and society, including economic, educational, and health disparities. The Commission's duties include identifying and compiling evidentiary documentation of slavery, examining various forms of discrimination like redlining and educational funding discrepancies, and detailing the lingering negative effects. It is mandated to recommend appropriate ways to educate the American public on its findings and propose specific remedies. These remedies will consider international standards for reparations and address questions such as how a formal apology should be offered, how discriminatory laws can be eliminated, and the form, calculation, and eligibility for any compensation to descendants of enslaved Africans. The Commission is required to submit a written report of its findings and recommendations to Congress within one year of its first meeting, with $12,000,000 authorized for its operations.
