- Kamilah Moore, chair of California's Reparations Task Force, said black homeless people should receive the most aid through compensation for slavery
- She said the state's housing discrimination and homelessness were also listed as one of the 'five state sanction atrocities' against black people
- The latest federal and state data show California has more than 172,000 homeless people, with about 34 to 40 percent of them being black
- Moore argued that the compensation would boost the economy
- Economists in the task force initially recommended a $1million payout per person, but the group will make its final recommendation in July
