By W. T. Whitney — When white people shed exculpatory myths and acknowledge the truth about slavery, they’ve arrived at what descendants of enslaved people know about only too well. But they need not stop there. They could test the proposition that historical memory contributes to undermining racial oppression. Members of a small family group – myself included – showed up September 25, 2017 at the Freedom House Museum in…
