I'm genuinely glad we live in a country that recognizes the horrors of its past. Even with all of the "whitewashing" that occurs in textbooks in parts of the country, like "states' rights" in the Civil War and praising Columbus, there's still an overwhelming consensus that minorities were wronged for our entire history.
