I applaud Charleston’s first steps. If we don’t address the past it repeats!

Apologies free us from our errors. Free to be peaceful with ourselves and others.

Blah blah blah did they get reparations. No just more talk. When America become serious about slavery they’ll pay reparations to African Americans

I don’t believe anyone believes slavery isn’t totally clear that was a dark & regrettable time in our history. Isn’t it a little foolish to believe this proclamation is new for Charleston SC? It’s certainly not new news.
