Biden senior adviser says White House will start acting on reparations ‘now’
The White House is “going to start acting now” to address reparations to African Americans, a White House senior adviser said in a new interview, as Congress debates forming a commission to study how the policy could be implemented.
Speaking to “Axios on HBO” in an interview set to air Monday, White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond discussed efforts targeted to helping minority communities.
While the administration may back the study, Richmond added that they were not waiting on Congress.
“We don’t want to wait on a study. We’re going to start acting now,” he told the outlet.
“We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African Americans,” Richmond told the outlet. “[W]e have to do stuff now.”
