		<description><![CDATA[Summary:  The history of the State-sponsored oppression of Black Americans (1776-1964) is the story about one of our two great national sins.  Rather than confess and repent, many Americans prefer to take refuge in lies (the other, our treatment of Native Americans, is resolved by amnesia).  However comforting, this both divides us and diminishes our ability to see ourselves clearly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fabiusmaximus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2055373&amp;post=34445&amp;subd=fabiusmaximus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
