Hochul was joined by Rev. Al Sharpton, various members of New York government leadership and influential community members six months after state lawmakers passed the bill and three years after California became the first state to create a reparations task force. The bill creates a nine-member commission that would study the effects of slavery in the state and make non-binding recommendations on reparations. Three members would be appointed by the governor, three by the assembly and three by the senate. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)
