Connecticut paid Prudence Crandall an apology pension as reparations

Evidence

I admired Crandall for her courage, and was intrigued to learn that the Connecticut General Assembly had voted to pay her an annual pension of $400 in 1886 until her death as a formal apology—and reparations—for their actions. — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 509

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: A concrete, early instance of a governmental body voting reparations — directly relevant to the reader’s companion article on sacrifice and how institutions formally acknowledge wrongdoing with payment.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing whether this pension precedent was cited in Lanier’s legal arguments or in reparations debates generally.
