>>> Texas Board Of Education Tried To Keep Word 'Slave' Out Of 'Slave Trade'

The evil past of slavery should, of course, not be forgotten. And it will never be.

At the same time, as a southerner who had nothing to do with slavery, it gets a little old having it thrown up in our faces on a daily basis as though we were the perpetrators.

The truth about slavery should be told. Did Texas ban Frederick Douglas' "Narrative" (probably the best all-round account of slavery in existence)?

You have to have some rational way to counter works of fiction like Zinn's "People's History...". School must teach about the slave trade but should not further the fictionalized accounts that are so predominant amongst the leftwingers.
