Reparations for slavery

I saw this article about Asheville and was curious what everyone here thought. Personally, I think it's a great step and like that they plan on using the money to go towards helping better employment and housing opportunities. My only concern is who is put on the panel to determine where exactly the funding is going and I hope the experts are from the African American community rather than repeating history with a bunch of old white guys. What do y'all think?
