ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The city of Annapolis is following the state's lead and is apologizing for slavery.
Six members of the City Council and Mayor Ellen Moyer approved a resolution Monday night. The two other council members abstained.

The sponsor, Alderman Sam Shropshire, says the resolution not an apology from the citizens. Instead, he says it is an apology for the city government's role in encouraging slavery.

Earlier this year, the state legislature approved a resolution expressing "profound regret" for the state's role in the slave trade.

Maryland has been a free state since 1864

You're right and if you don't treat them special, two very annoying weeds named Jesse and Al will grow out of control

Doesn't "walking around holding themselves" qualify for that? :shrug:
