'This group will change the world,' mayor says as NYC continues to struggle amid the pandemic
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio announced an "unprecedented" racial justice commission to rethink the city's laws, including its charter, to address "the foundational sin of racism in this country."
"We need to do something transformational at this point in our history, something unprecedented, and that’s why today I’m naming a racial justice commission. This is unlike any approach you’ve ever seen in the history of New York City or, honestly, in any major city in America, any state in America. We’ve never had a model for actually addressing structural racism… formally apologizing for it," de Blasio said at a press conference Tuesday.

De Blasio said the commission would draw inspiration from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission founded in post-Apartheid South Africa in the 1990s.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa is particularly notable for the way it identified the sins of the past, then determined structural changes needed … We want to take from those international models, adapt them to the reality here... recognizing the foundational sin of racism in this country, in this city," de Blasio said.
