Say It Ain't So Already

Our Unspoken Shame

I’m watching a special program about the history of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. on C-SPAN, a building that was built to “symbolize freedom,” but that was “largely built” by slaves.

Imagine what those slaves were thinking.

Oh, and the narrator said that there is no mention of slaves in the “official” history of the building.

We sure have dressed up our history, haven’t we?
