Several CSUN faculty members kicked off the fall semester by unveiling the results of their extensive research on the range of discrimination experienced by L..A.’s Black citizens over the past 100 years. At an Aug. 27 campus event, researchers discussed their report, “An Examination of African American Experiences in Los Angeles,” in which they documented a dozen different categories of harms to the Black community over the past century. The report is part of the work assigned to The Reparations Advisory Commission, a blue-ribbon task force established in 2021 by city officials. The commission’s objectives include developing and recommending the format and goals of reparations for Black citizens, as well as seeking opportunities to fund the reparations.
