For the past few years, the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice in collaboration with reparations advocates and the Legislative Black Caucus have been pushing a bill to establish a state reparations commission. Their efforts have been thwarted by the Governor and leaders of both houses of the Assembly who have refused to sign off on any bill that includes reparations in the language.  Now these rejectionists can conveniently hide behind Governor Moore’s veto in Maryland to bolster their case.
