HELP US FIX H.R. 40

What is H.R. 40?

Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act

This bill establishes the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans. The commission shall examine slavery and discrimination in the colonies and the

United States from 1619 to the present and recommend appropriate remedies. Among other

requirements, the commission shall identify (1) the role of federal and state governments in

supporting the institution of slavery, (2) forms of discrimination in the public and private sectors against freed slaves and their descendants, and (3) lingering negative effects of slavery on living African-Americans and society.
