Perhaps it is time to do it again.
As part of our history, certainly the date deserves recognition. Especially during a time when so many are trying to delete so much of what made this country great. Slavery was a blot on our history, however, we eliminated it - actually before the rest of the world... much of which still practices it. Cheers, RickO
