That's been completely erased from our national memory and completely erased from the way that we think about the North. That is something that white Americans, if they really believe as they say that race doesn't matter, we're all Americans, should also be proud of and embrace that story.

This affects all Americans no matter if you just got here yesterday, if your family's been here 200 years, no matter what your race. It's not incidental that 10 of the first 12 presidents of the United States were slaveowners. And it really is a story of black ascension once the legal barriers have been removed.You talk in eloquent terms about how black people really are the perfecters of this democracy, that we had these original documents but really it took this all the way almost to the civil rights struggle for us to start seeing what those words actually meant.Absolutely.

And this is a sentiment that goes all the way back to right after the end of the Civil War when the Freedmen's Bureau starts to offer universal health care for people who had literally just come out of bondage, had not a dollar to their name, had no way to live, had nothing.
