CHICGAO (CBS)– The City of Evanston’s reparations committee will meet to hear more testimony from residents about how governmental and systemic racism have harmed their lives.

Evanston has a reparations program that gives grants to black neighbors who are victims of housing discrimination.

Last year, 16 people were awarded up to $25,000 from the program for home ownership or home repairs.

Thursday’s reparations committee meeting begins at 9 am at the Morton Civic Center in Evanston.
