The Founders’ relation to slavery is a touchy topic. Lately, a number of states have passed laws restricting teaching about the subject in schools. In Iowa today, it’s not clear even whether a teacher can label slavery as “wrong.” More on this in a moment.
A powerful piece. And we continue to dance with the devil in many ways. Consider the continuing reliance on fossil fuels. The expression "pay forward" comes to mind. What is it that we leave for our heirs?
Slavery seems to be our countries "Original Sin", from my Roman Catholic indoctrination back in the day. No amount of Holy Water or "Hail Mary's" will ever bring Absolution!

Well said, Jack!
