About

The nation's first government-backed reparations initiative was green lit

this week in Evanston, Illinois, a Chicago suburb where about 16 percent of

its 75,000 residents are Black. The city council has promised $10 million

over 10 years. John Yang discusses how the program could serve as a model

for the rest of the country with Ron Daniels of the National African

American Reparations Commission.
