Default Senate apologize for the wrongs of slavery

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a resolution
apologizing to African-Americans for the wrongs of slavery.


While this is a symbolic gesture, maybe it will be meaningful to some.
The real apology for slavery is equal opportunity regardless of race,
creed, sex or national origin. I think MLK Jr. said it best when he
said " I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in
a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by
the content of their character. "

Race relations in the US is not perfect, but we have some a long way.
