I'm in favor of a slave memorial, of the right sort. It certainly should not be a memorial to victimhood. It should be a memorial that represents the perseverance and hope that got them through 300 years. They shouldn't be portrayed as weak people as they are today because they were anything but weak.
But I have the feeling Rev. Al or Jesse will take over the enterprise and turn it into something that memorializes their fund raising rather than the slaves themselves.
