Slavery in this country ended in 1865 - 152 years ago.
Bristol did benefit indirectly from the slave trade and yes it is a part of our history, but are you suggesting that slavery should be the focal point of our past? What about the Pokanoket? Have you ever heard of King Philip (aka Metacomet - you know...Metacom Avenue) or the war that bears his name? That's also a PART of our history.
Stop playing the victim card and move on. No one is trying to "white-wash" anything. These events form who we are TODAY - try to live in the present not the past.
