California’s bold new bill could force big corporations to reveal if they ever profited from slavery—making the state the first to demand historical accountability. If passed, companies earning over $100 million globally and doing business in California must dig through old records and report any ties to slavery, with disclosures archived publicly. Targeting industries like banking, railroads, and shipping, the Truth in Disclosure Act follows a reparations task force’s recommendations and aims to shed light on how wealth was built. While cash reparations remain politically fraught, this transparency push marks a major step toward reckoning with history—and the fight for justice continues.
