Perhaps the very first thing we need to do as a nation and as individual members of society is to confront our past and see it for what it is.

It is the past that is filled with some of the ugliest possible examples of racial brutality and degradation in human history.We need to recognize it for what it was and is and not to explain it away,excuse it or justify it.
John Hope Franklin,1993
