加州立法机关：设立特别工作组研究奴隶制遗产对加州黑人居民造成的损害，并提出赔偿方案。该方案旨在弥补历史和持续的种族歧视造成的损害，但具体措施和资金分配仍存在争议。 Camila Moore：尽管加州从未是蓄奴州，但仍有大量非洲裔美国人在加州被迫劳动，加州也曾执行奴隶制法律。这为加州的赔偿责任提供了历史依据。 Stephen Bradford：加州赔偿特别工作组的报告详细记录了加州种族主义的历史，并建议向奴隶的后代支付现金赔偿，以弥补历史的不公。 Adrian Flaherty：加州目前拨款1200万美元用于赔偿，但这笔资金不包括现金赔偿，与赔偿运动的中心目标相悖。这反映了政治上的挑战和妥协。 Sandhya Dirks：加州的赔偿努力是长期争取奴隶制赔偿的结果，也受到乔治·弗洛伊德事件的影响。目前，加州的赔偿方案主要集中在解决结构性问题和象征性措施上，现金赔偿面临巨大政治阻力。 James Gallagher：反对现金赔偿，认为今天的纳税人无需为过去的错误买单，并认为现有的社会环境不存在阻碍非裔美国人成功的因素。 Gavin Newsom：对现金赔偿持谨慎态度，认为主要问题在于预算。
