In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.
It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.
Not that complicated.
@unearth UK has problems confronting its imperialist past, its role in the slave trade, its exploitation of the Commonwealth, working classes, women and children, as well as the disproportionate about of carbon dioxide it has added to the Earth’s atmosphere from being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Social mobility has shrunk in my lifetime. We all just unconsciously tug our forelocks are carry on acquiescing to the Establishment and Tories.
Germany is grown up.
