New York City mayor launches commission to address systemic racism
CNN
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has launched a racial justice commission that will be tasked with dismantling structural racism and addressing the disparities laid bare by the Covid-19 pandemic.
De Blasio announced the 11-member panel on Tuesday, keeping a promise he made during his State of the City address this year.

Reparations for Black residents may also be considered by the commission, de Blasio said, though he did not provide details.
