N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul signs controversial legislation to create slavery reparations commission

NEW YORK -- Gov. Kathy Hochul signed racial justice legislation Tuesday morning to create a commission to consider reparations for slavery.

For so many Black New Yorkers this is a historic step to help right the wrongs of the past.

It's also controversial. Hochul said she knows many state residents do not support it, but added it had to be signed.
