I fully support any former slaves still alive getting a healthy apology of some sort.
I wonder what would happen if the government said flat-out, "We're ready to make an official apology, but it won't me backed by money. Money can't undo the horrible things that were done and we don't want to cheapen it by confusing the issue." What would be enough? |
