New York Democratic legislative leaders on Thursday announced an attorney will serve as one of nine inaugural members of a state commission that will consider reparations for the enslavement of Black Americans.
Lurie Daniel Favors, executive director at the Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, was appointed to the New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies, which drew controversy as lawmakers considered creation of the body in 2023.
