The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) supports the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act (H.R. 40 and Senate Bill S.1083).“I encourage Americans to read or watch the testimony from today and to make a commitment to educating ourselves about reparations. The formation of a Commission will aid in helping Americans discuss this important issue based on facts rather than fear and misinformation,” said Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel at LD, during the Juneteenth congressional hearings in 2019.
