PROVIDENCE – Mayor Jorge Elorza will sign an executive order Wednesday to begin the process of examining the feasibility of establishing a reparations program in Providence for residents of African heritage and Indigenous people.
City leaders have no estimate on how much a reparations program would cost or how it would work, but Elorza said studying the issue will would be the “first step in accepting the role Providence and Rhode Island has held in generations of pain and violence against these residents and healing some of the deepest wounds our country faces today.”
“As a country and a community, we owe a debt to our communities of African and Indigenous heritage, and on the local level, we are using this opportunity to correct a wrong,” Elorza said in a prepared statement that is expected to be released Wednesday.
