Virginia apologizes for slavery... why?

Good analogy. And even without it, if a gross injustice remains unaddressed, there is something wrong.

I believe the other greatest injustice in US history was our actions toward the American Indian. Both that and slavery need to be much better addressed, as difficult as it is to find appropriate solutions. In fact, it seems near impossible to come up with a way to redress what we did to the American Indian. (Casinos certainly don't do it.)
