A study hasn't been done -- so it will look in to all industries.
For instance, in the bill it uses Insurance as an example:
Newsom the signed Assembly Bill 3121 into law on Wednesday. The bill opens the door to the state paying reparations to Black Californians, especially those who are descendants of slaves. It specifically calls out insurance companies:
Existing law requests the Regents of the University of California to assemble a colloquium of scholars to draft a research proposal to analyze the economic benefits of slavery that accrued to owners and the businesses, including insurance companies and their subsidiaries, that received those benefits, and to make recommendations to the Legislature regarding those findings.

They need to go through records and find out the current loss and value of these policies. In addition to Post-
Emancipation insurance policies.
That's just one industry.
So, they will have to go through each and come up with what's owed. CURRENT value.

The weirdos are those who are not staying on subject and using this thread to bring up topics, lies that have nothing to do with anything.
And for you - if you don't support or think it will happen STFU and go.
Who goes into positive threads that already gets massive hate -- to throw salt and be unsupportive.
People like you.

It's listed in the bill what needs to be studied. And it does need it if you're serious about drafting legislation that will involve this many people and this kind of money.

This right here: Manhattan Beach was once home to Black beachgoers, but the city ran them out. Now it faces a reckoning
I PRAY this bill will help their case!
I hope the descendants get everything!

In 1912, Willa Bruce purchased for $1,225 the first of two lots along the Strand between 26th and 27th streets. While her husband, Charles, worked as a dining-car chef on the train running between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, Willa ran a popular lodge, cafe and dance hall — providing Black families a way to enjoy a weekend on the coast.
By setting up a beachside community, Charles and Willa Bruce “did what every other Californian was doing during that time,” a historian says.
(Anthony Bruce)
Many referred to this area as Bruce’s Beach. A few more Black families bought and built their own cottages by the sea. A community was born.
“They were pioneers. They came to California, bought property, enjoyed the beach, made money,” said Alison Rose Jefferson, a historian and author of the book “Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era.” “They did what every other Californian was doing during that time.”

As for the demand for restitution, Montgomery said the city needed to first get the facts straight before deciding how to proceed. The City Council is seeking historians, he said, to teach the community what really happened.
Descendants of Charles and Willa Bruce gather at Bruce’s Beach for a family reunion in 2018.

Duane Shepard Sr., a 62-year-resident of South L.A. and designated Bruce family representative, said he’s been building a case and researching which parcels, and how many, Charles and Willa actually owned.

Anyway, Democrats had a bill in the US House for years. Good move by Cali and if we all get out and vote Dem, we may see more of it across the country.ultraflexed
