Thanks, Nancy for sharing the link to Colbert King's piece.
I knew the man looked like he was old enough to have benefitted from the Jim
Crow laws and Massive Resistance. That man is one who should apologize
himself.
I agree with King that the Commonwealth owes an apology to all people of
color for their mistreatment, from the taking of land and massacres of
Indians trying to defend their "personal property", to black who were
deprived of all human rights, to the blacks of our century deprived of their
civil rights.
