NY Gov. Hochul on Commission to Consider Reparations for Slavery: ‘What Is Hard to Embrace Is the Fact that Our State Also Flourished from that Slavery’
‘In New York, we like to think we’re on the right side of this’
EXCERPT:
HOCHUL: “ We had the leaders here. We took this on. We can say we're the heroes. We're the ones who fought against slavery. And indeed, many did. What is hard to embrace is the fact that our state also flourished from that slavery. It's not a beautiful story, but indeed it is the truth."
