H.R. 40 ( reparations bill)

H.R. 40 is a proposed bill in the U.S. Congress that aims to study and develop proposals for reparations to address the legacy of slavery and racial discrimination against Black Americans. The bill does not automatically provide reparations but establishes a commission to research the impact of slavery, examine current racial disparities, and recommend ways to address economic and social injustices faced by Black communities. Its goal is to promote understanding and explore solutions for racial equity, acknowledging a historical wrong and working toward healing and justice.
