Thomas Jefferson's birthday in mid-April is currently recognized as a city holiday in Charlottesville, VA. But if it was up to Mayor Nikuyah Walker, she'd change it to Liberation and Freedom Day.

To stay honest to their hatred of Black Slave owners, they would have to change their last names.......who will be the first?
I say over and over that part of the emancipation of slaves should have been to repatriate every last one of them for humanitarian reasons.

The communist Republicans who started the war and have built the govt into a huge monstrocity of over taxation and the elites reaping the benefits. Made them citizens so they could help put in the puppet govt in the south after the war.
