Mamdani Says He Is Open to Slavery Cash Reparations in NYC: ‘We Were Very Complicit’

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: "First, I want to say that I stand by what I submitted. It’s the truth. It is not personal assessment. And we often think about slavery and the complicity in slavery as being exclusive to certain geographic areas of the country. Here in New York City, we were very complicit. And so I look forward to whatever those findings are. I can’t give you an answer in advance of them, but I can tell you that this is critically important because this is also what it looks like to acknowledge what history truly was."
