FROM THE LEGACY OF ENSLAVEMENT
"Most Americans, black and white, would rather not discuss slavery. As with
many subjects denial is the position most prefer. Whites because of guilt and
responsibility, but blacks for reasons deep seeded in some twisted belief that
to be enslaved in somehow makes you a lesser being."
