Opinion: The overlooked reason reparations make sense in California and elsewhere

California's Reparations Task Force is set to report its recommendations by July 1.

LZ Granderson: The wealth gap on its own makes a strong case for reparations.

He says in the U.S., the median wealth of white households is eight times that of Black households.

Granderson says the health gap largely traces to stress-related diseases like heart attacks and strokes.

In Chicago-area study, upward economic mobility reduced Black mothers’ odds of giving birth to a small-for-gestational age baby.

The stark health inequities caused by systemic racism are harder to put a dollar value on, but they are another historic injustice.

Material resources offered by reparations programs will help close the health gap, too.
