Congratulations to Khansa Jones-Muhammad for Being Selected As a Member of the Los Angeles Reparations Commission by Mayor Eric Garcetti

National Assembly of American Slavery Descendants Los Angeles supports this historic action taken by Mayor Garcetti to provide racial justice to Black Americans in Los Angeles

The National Assembly of American Slavery Descendants Los Angeles (NAASD LA) would like to congratulate its Co-Chair,  Khansa Jones-Muhammad (Friday Jones), for being selected as a member of the Los Angeles Reparations Commission by Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Ms. Jones-Muhammad, a founding member of NAASD LA and a leader in the national reparations movement, has been a tireless advocate on behalf of Black Americans who descend from American chattel slavery.  She was one of several advocates instrumental in the passage of the historic and landmark legislation AB3121, which is studying how reparations would look for Black Americans in the state of California. 

We thank Mayor Garcetti for his leadership in spearheading this historic landmark commission. Likewise, we thank Deputy Mayor Brenda Shockley and Deputy Chief of Staff Andre Herndon for their tireless efforts to establish this Commission.

While we maintain that no local or state reparations proposals can replace the effort of Federal reparations, we applaud this next step of justice. We are confident members of the Los Angeles commission, including Khansa Jones-Muhammad, share our commitment to continuing the fight for reparative justice.
