The USA's first slavery museum is open. As Texas and other states are trying to downplay the role of slavery in the United States, this lawyer decided to go the other route by educating people.

Blake Fox, a museum of African American culture is not the same as a slavery museum. While one might touch upon slavery to showcase how we got to now, the other is about slavery and nothing else.

Slavery is a culture of power. Every people on this planet at one point or another practiced slavery.

Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
