Reconciliation

The Virginia legislature voted unanimously today to express "profound regret" for slavery on the 400th anniversary of Jamestown. I think it's interesting that when we see these proclaimations of apology they occur on an anniversary or other remembrance of some sort. I think in America we make alot of hollow apologies. I agree with Van Dyke though, that apology is the necessary first step.
