"Georgia lawmakers are working quietly behind the scenes to try and draft a state apology for slavery.
"'Trying to put that behind us and say okay let's shake hands; let's admit there was wrongs done; let's express forgiveness and let's move this state forward together,' said state Senate president pro tem Eric Johnson....
"'Well, I think it's necessary for the state to apologize for slavery,' Molette said. 'An apology is to admit with regret you've been discourteous. I think any reasonable person would say that slavery is discourteous to say the very least.'"

Booker T. Washington said:
"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
