The study, which surveyed 3,500 Evanston residents between February and June of this year, asked residents two questions — if they believe the reparations program is good public policy and how the passage of the reparations ordinance impacted their trust in city government.
Support is strong for Evanston’s reparations program nearly four years after the City Council voted to enact it and make the city the in the country to provide government funds to address injustices faced by Black residents, according to a new study from Northwestern University and NORC at the University of Chicago.
Tillery said that while Evanston is progressive like many other municipalities looking to implement reparations programs, it stood out by engaging in public education campaigns before coming to the table to vote and enact changes.
