Americans of every ethnic origin should understand and memorialize the absolute terror of slavery and learn about the central morbid role it had in the successful founding of the United States as well as its continued effects. Only this can restore humility and pride to their proper places in our diverse society and bring healing to its heart.
We are the Land of the Brave. Bravery is nowhere more evident than in the history of enslaved, displaced and oppressed Americans in the United States.
