With polls continuing to show the public's deep dislike of reparations, it's easy to forget that it was only three years ago that elected officials were all in, pointing to what many had quietly thought would be a one-off as a model for righting the wrongs of systemic racism.

In 2023, 6.2 acres in Orange County was transferred to the Tongva and Acjachemen people.
