Three years ago, California became the first state in the nation to form a reparations task force. Now, the state has set aside $12 million for descendants of people who were enslaved, but it’s unclear what programs the money will go toward.

As conversations around the use of these funds continue, the California Legislative Black Caucus is on a statewide tour to promote its slate of 14 reparations bills. 

On Wednesday’s Midday Edition show, we’re talking about the bills, the funding and more.

Guests:

• Emmanuel Felton, race and ethnicity reporter, Washington Post
• Kamilah Moore, California Reparations Task Force Chair
• Adrienne Abiodun, genealogist at Legacy Tree Genealogists
