Sacramento Observer awarded best Black newspaper in the country. California’s first in the nation Reparations Task Force has completed their final recommendations. Upcoming live music with Insight’s “Concert Connect.”
Sac Observer's national award
The Sacramento Observer is the best Black Newspaper in America. That paper, along with its Publisher and President Larry Lee, just walked away with more than a dozen top honors for their journalism, community service and digital impact. Larry joins us on Insight today to discuss Black journalism’s importance in the crowded media landscape, and why The Observer stands out from the rest after being in operation since 1962 when his father, the late William Lee, started the paper.
Reparations task force
California’s Reparations Task Force is a first-in-the-nation initiative by a state to understand and undue the scope of harm and injustices against Black residents. After two years of research and passionate public hearings, the task force compiled an extensive report, as well as a long list of recommendations to correct the generations of outright and systemic racism in our state. KQED Reporter Annelise Finney shares her reporting on the final proposal by California’s Reparations Task Force and the potential challenges it faces now that it's in the hands of the state legislature. Don Tamaki is a member of the California Reparations Task Force and joins Insight to discuss the parallels and connections between the Japanese American redress and reparations for African Americans.
