Reparations activists gathered outside the Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office at City Hall on Wednesday to protest what they called disturbing cuts to the city’s reparations task force.
Established in 2022, the ten-member force appointed by Wu operates under the City Council with the goals of researching Boston’s role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the institutions that benefited from the enslavement of Black people, and the lingering impact of slavery in the city.
The task force introduced three phases of their mission, which include working with a research partner to release a study on the legacy of slavery in Boston, engaging with the community to include testimony from those affected by the generational impacts of slavery, and providing recommendations to the Mayor for reparative justice solutions for Black residents.
