"At this place, liberty and life were stolen and sold,"

So will we be hearing apologies from the descendants of the Arab and African slave traders who abducted their own countrymen and sold them into slavery?

That was not that point, although I understand what you are saying. If there were no buyers here in America, there would have been no sellers. Also, the Europeans, British, in particular, were just taking advantage of dividing and conqueroring warring tribes anyway. American Indians bought and sold other Indians. However, what went on at Goree Island wasn't the invention of some tribe chieftain. You can say it was American businessmen in the South (and the North too).

"So will we be hearing apologies from the descendants of the Arab and African slave traders who abducted their own countrymen and sold them into slavery?"

Or from the New England et al seafarers' descendents who profited from it. Wonder what a genealogy search would do on the antecedents of the present politicos with regard to that subject.

Bush would do a lot more to address the horrible Slavery
going on TODAY in SUDAN and other places which
is even more horrible than American slavery.
