        Ache in the stomachs of generations of African American will never go away. I feel shame and disgust that this was an American way of life

        WTF? A monument praising the slavers? That should be TAKEN DOWN or reworded to condemn them

        The "courageous people" it's referring to are the African people. Easy to misread it, though. Too bad they didn't phrase it better.

        GMAFB. It takes intense proof-reading & many signatures to erect signage like this. That is blatantly, & purposefully praising slavery

        What's your point? They may say it's a monument to slaves, but it's a monument to slavery

        Thanks for posting these today. Critical to remember the FACTS re that period,& what slavery was really all about. How is it a question now?

        Some issues are beyond compromise, praise be.
