The New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies

It’s tasked with investigating ways of compensating the descendants of enslaved people for historical injustices. The panel is asking for more time to complete its mission.

The Center for Law and Justice in Albany is pressing on after its founder, civil rights activist Alice Green, died unexpectedly last month.
