PERHAPS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE?

144 YEARS LATER THE SENATE APOLOGIZES FOR SLAVERY



SENATE APPROVES RESOLUTION APOLOGIZING FOR SLAVERY

Resolution acknowledges the wrongs of slavery but offers no reparations
House must vote again because members have changed since resolution passed
Measure is nonbinding, does not need to be forwarded to president
-- The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a resolution apologizing to African-Americans for the wrongs of slavery.


The nonbinding resolution sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, is similar to a House resolution adopted last year that acknowledged the wrongs of slavery but offered no reparations. The House will have to vote on the issue again because the composition of that chamber changed after last November's elections.

now if we go by this timetable.... i'm wondering if the senate will apologize to gay people in the year 2153 for it's appalling stance on marriage equality, gay rights, don't ask don't tell, and the mistreatment of gays by the clergy.
