Hi Kristin, thank you so much for reading and for taking the time to leave such an affirming comment. I am very grateful to know that you found value in my words and I wholeheartedly agree with your statement "just because evil things were accepted in the past doesn't make them less horrific." I couldn't have said it better.

I often hear that since it (slavery) happened long ago it has less relevance, but no other period of history that contained violence and oppression is minimized.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and willingness to hear another viewpoint.n I sincerely appreciate it.
