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. With the election of a person for president because of his skin not his character, it appears MLK's dream is still a long way off. Astute. -- John H |
