California to study reparations for Black residents under new law signed by Gov. Newsom

--- Quote ---Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law on Wednesday that opens the door to the state paying reparations of some kind to Black Californians, especially those who are descendants of slaves.

The law does not commit to any specific kind of payment. It calls for a nine-member task force that will be asked to make recommendations for how reparations could be provided, such as through compensation or restitution.
--- End quote ---

Oh, joy! A skin color tax! Regardless of where your ancestors were before 1865.

When was slavery allowed in California?  And how many California residents are descendants of those California slaves?  Asking for a friend.
