SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco supervisors have expressed support for an ambitious reparations plan that would include a $5 million lump-sum payment for each eligible Black person, among other measures. San Francisco could become the first major U.S. city to fund reparations for slavery and systemic racism as the idea gains traction across the country. The Board of Supervisors heard a draft plan Tuesday that includes more than 100 recommendations. An advisory committee also recommended eliminating personal debt, selling homes to qualifying households for just $1 and guaranteeing at least $97,000 in annual income for 250 years. Black people make up 6% of San Francisco’s population and 38% of its homeless residents.
