The task force's chair said the group is still gathering research and does not expect to make its recommendations until 2025.
Attorney Joseph Feaster, chairman of the Boston reparations task force, speaking at a ceremony at the Museum of African American History on Feb. 7, 2023.
"Unfortunately, the timeframes that were set forth in the ordinance were a bit ambitious," Feaster said.to consider reparations for the descendants of enslaved people. Boston is one of the largest American cities undergoing such a review, with groups in Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Detroit, St. Louis, Providence and Northampton, Mass. also working to identify their respective cities' ties to slavery and explore reparations.
In an emailed statement, a city spokesperson said the Wu administration continues to support the task force"to ensure that Boston delivers just and comprehensive recommendations." "I don't need to have that conversation until such time as I have the benefit of the researchers giving me some guideposts on how we approach the issue," he said."So to have a conversation presently would be just a nice conversation, but it would not at all be informative to me to have it."The task force's second phase is expected to"assess the City's actions to date to address continued impacts of enslavement," according to the city's ordinance.
