But the decision in South Carolina is a good sign. I grew up in Virginia but my parents were Yankees, having migrated here after my dad served in World War II. I remember an elementary school teacher telling my class that the Civil War was fought over state's rights. People still claim that. There is a great shame over slavery and folks hate to admit that it happened.

I can fully understand your reluctance to go some place where you could be in danger from some "nut job." But seriously, with the rich heritage and history in Virginia...now what? My hubby has been saying he is afraid of the direction our nation is heading in many ways, but this now has the appearance of another north vs. south conflict. Hope not...Dr. K.

I wonder what will follow. <br />Attitudes change so slowly, as we saw in your proposed trip to Virginia. I appreciate how you mentioned the museum that was trying to bring about reunification between former slaves and owners. But I can see how awkward that would be, too. I guess the best we can do is move forward and hope others do too. Thank you for this post. Amy Bovairdhttp://amybovaird.comnoreply@blogger.com
