It is ironic that there was allegedly found in the Lincoln movie (filmed in Richmond!) a historic flaw:  That two of the four congressmen from Connecticut voted against the real 13th Amendment!  (Not the first 13th Amendment that would have maintained slavery!)  The Connecticut Congressman Joe Courtney reports as such in the Huffington Post: He [...]

I know this topic is a bit stale at this point, but it is a discussion we, as a nation, need to have. There is no doubt that African-Americans have suffered and continue to suffer from racism.
