| Evanston, Illinois city approves reparations for black residents |
| 2021-03-23 |
| [Just The News] Evanston, Illinois on Monday approved a reparations program for black individuals, which marks the first government reparations program for black people in the U.S., according to The Washington Post. "The Evanston City Council approved the first phase of reparations to acknowledge the harm caused by discriminatory housing policies, practices and inaction going back more than a century," the outlet reported. "The 8-to-1 vote will make $400,000 available in $25,000 homeownership and improvement grants, as well as in mortgage assistance for Black residents who can show they are direct descendants of individuals who lived in the city between 1919 and 1969. "The housing money is part of a larger $10 million package approved for continued reparations initiatives, which will be funded by income from annual cannabis taxes over the next decade," the Post said. |

| #12 You have to actually prove that you didn't get a house or were unable to rent during a specific time frame. They know few will qualify so they'll get maximum virtue signaling for minimal payout. What they don't get is that the folks that try and fail to get their reparations are gonna scream racism. |

| #8 "Illinois contributed 250,000 soldiers to the Union Army, ranking it fourth in terms of the total manpower in Federal military service. Illinois troops predominantly fought in the Western Theater, although a few regiments played important roles in the East, particularly in the Army of the Potomac. Several thousand Illinoisians were killed or died of their wounds during the war, and a number of national cemeteries were established in Illinois to bury their remains" already paid in blood |
