I honestly don’t mind a slavery memorial or museum. Slavery was a scourge on the World and the United States for years and should be explored and memorialized. Having said that, I’m sure they will find a way to turn this into just another opportunity to attack the US.

Wonder if they will honor the half million casulties during 1861-1865 who died getting rid of slavery?
Yes, I know slavery was just ONE issue in this conflict.
Great great Grandaddy fought on the losing side.
The problem is that this particular monument is dishonest. It implies that slavery was something that Europeans and Americans did to Africans, period, when in fact the Arab slave trade dwarfed the transatlantic slave trade.
Who in heck wants to remember slavery? I am so damned sick of this racist crap. The race card has been played so much it has now become the joker in the deck.
