    Other

    The Equity and Empowerment Commission submitted reparations recommendations to the Evanston City Council on September 9, 2019, responding to a June 2019 request from Alderman Rue Simmons to address historical wealth and opportunity gaps affecting African American residents. The Commission held community meetings on July 11 and July 13, 2019, where attendees identified five priority categories (History/Culture, Finance, Education, Institutions/Systems, and Power Structure) and generated specific policy recommendations. Proposed actions include housing initiatives such as property tax relief for long-time African American property owners, down payment assistance for income-qualified home purchasers, and housing repair assistance, plus economic development measures including repurposing the Gibbs-Morrison Center for African American entrepreneur co-working space. The Commission recommended that the City Council receive the report and direct the City Manager to conduct additional research and data collection to determine feasibility, noting that implementation decisions were beyond the scope of the commission's current work.

  • Resolution 58-R-19, “Commitment to End Structural Racism and Achieve Racial Equity”

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    Resolution 58-R-19, adopted by the City of Evanston on June 5, 2019, commits the city to ending structural racism and achieving racial equity. The resolution acknowledges Evanston's history of racial discrimination, including the violent relocation of Potawatomi Tribes from the land, the city's namesake John Evans' role in the Sand Creek Massacre that killed approximately 150 Native Americans, and the presence of enslaved and formerly enslaved people including Maria Murray, purchased as domestic labor in 1855. The city council recognizes its use of regulatory and policy tools—including zoning laws supporting redlining and municipal disinvestment in Black communities—that contributed to the decimation of historically Black neighborhoods and collapse of a once economically thriving Black community. In Section 1, the City Council formally acknowledges its history of racially-motivated policies and practices, apologizes for the damage caused, and declares opposition to White Supremacy.
