Now, if they could just address slavery as they're addressing lost art and cultural items, then that would be great.

"Hey, sorry about our ancestors enslaving your ancestors hundreds of years ago."

Fun fact: When we bought our house in Oregon, we had to go to a lawyer to remove a clause that said "No Japanese" can buy this house. It was in the deed. I had to pay to get that removed so I could buy the property.

It's not about the past, it's about the present.
