Now there's a vacation spot to take the family....

"There's parts in that room — the main room — where it's quite gut-wrenching," said Nancy Mettlach, a student conduct specialist at Ferris. "And the thought that was going through my mind was: 'How can one human being do this to another human being?'"

Great museum with a lot of American history people prefer to keep hidden. Jim Crow is still alive and kickin' in 2012.

Yes, putting this history in a museum with free admission is a great way to keep it hidden.

I hate to tell her. Human Beings have been enslaving other human beings as long as they have been able to walk upright.

Aesop: Scribe of Aesop Fables.

Moses: Parted the Red Sea and the 10 Commandments

Booker T Washington; (No not of Booker T and the MG's fame)

Several of the first 4-5 Roman Catholic Popes were enslaved slaves due to their religious beliefs

Geroge Washinton Carver: American scientist

Harriet Tubbman: Former slave and Vice-presidential candidate

Saint Patrick: We celebrate him ever March 17th

Many of the first followers of Jesus of Nazereth were enslved of their religion

Spartacus: I am Spartacus!

From the dawn of time through probably the 1600-1700. When 2 parties went to war, the victors would enslave the men and take the women and animals for themselves. (Women were thought of as chattel. (A moveable possesion.) Something that could be bought and sold.) Vikings, Romans (Who made a speticle of it.) Japanese, Chinese war lords, even the Native Americans practiced this. The English had endentured servants & slavery.

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
