San Francisco reparations panel on how it decided on $5M per Black person: ‘There wasn’t a math formula'
Fox News
A San Francisco reparations panel says it did not use a "math formula" to arrive at its recommendation to give $5 million in reparations to every qualifying Black resident.
"There wasn’t a math formula," McDonnell told The Washington Post. "It was a journey for the committee towards what could represent a significant enough investment in families to put them on this path to economic well-being, growth and vitality that chattel slavery and all the policies that flowed from it destroyed."
