Judiciary Committee approves bill funding commission that could recommend reparations
Fox News
The House Judiciary Committee voted 25 to 17 Wednesday night to approve H.R. 40, which would establish a body to review racial disparities and form a "national apology" to the Black community.
The body would then recommend "appropriate remedies" to Congress. Texas Democrat Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee introduced the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act in the House earlier this year, though H.R. 40 originally had been introduced by former Michigan Democrat Rep. John Conyers over 30 years ago, in 1989.More Related News
