Maryland Governor Vetoes Slavery Reparations Study Commission
Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced he will veto a bill to establish a commission to study slavery reparations, emphasizing the need to focus on actionable solutions to racial disparities instead of further studies. The veto has drawn disappointment from the Legislative Black Caucus, which views it as a missed opportunity to address historical injustices, despite the measure’s strong legislative support. Moore highlighted past studies and ongoing efforts to uplift Black communities in Maryland, advocating for immediate action over additional research.
