To try to whitewash and eliminate and cover up the history of slavery is to ignore the first third of our country's history altogether. And the cause of the greatest cataclysm this country has ever faced. And To eliminate, for example, a display about slavery at Harper's Ferry is just flat ridiculous. Harper's Ferry is there because of slavery, because that was where John Brown's raid was. And that was the issue at that moment. It's like saying you can't have a model rocket at Cape Kennedy.
