SANDERS, CLEARE, COMRIE, HOYLMAN-SIGAL, JACKSON, PARKER, RIVERA, SEPULVEDA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Finance AN ACT to acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery in the city of New York and the state of New York; to establish the New York state community commission on repara- tions remedies, to examine the institution of slavery, subsequently de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African- Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans and to make determinations regarding compensation; making an appropri- ation therefor; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York state community commission on reparations remedies". § 2. Legislative intent. Contrary to what many people believe, slav- ery was not just a southern institution. Prior to the American Revo- lution, there were more enslaved Africans in New York City than in any other city except Charleston, South Carolina. During this period, slaves accounted for 20% of the population of New York and approximately 40% of colonial New York's households owned slaves. These slaves were an inte- gral part of the population which settled and developed what we now know as the state of New York. The first slaves arrived in New Amsterdam, a Dutch settlement estab- lished at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, around 1627. These enslaved Africans did not belong to individuals, but worked for the Dutch West India Company. The Dutch East India Company had established Fort Amsterdam, a fortification located on the southern tip of the island of Manhattan, for the purpose of defending the company's fur trade operations in the North River, now known as the Hudson River.
