Article by Washington Post Explores Conference Topics

I am not suggesting that slavery and the Holocaust or the forced removal of Native American peoples are all in the same vein. They are each distinctly diabolical. But comparing these two countries’ paths forward from a dark past is instructive.

Americans, by concerning themselves with the crimes of National Socialism, might learn something about the country’s own dark chapter of slavery.
