[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see the issue. It's history. [b]Do you also not tour houses like Mount Vernon? [/quote][/b] Mount Vernon is a museum. And they talk a lot about slavery there. Similarly, former concentration camps are now essentially museums. Not all museums are appropriate for weddings.[/quote] Barely, they barely mention slavery at Mt. Vernon. In fact, they don't want to talk about it at all, if they had their way, the older generation there. How often do you hear that George dearest had over 150 slaves in a regular tour?[/quote] I don't know if we had a regular tour, but when I chaperoned my 1st grader's field trip there, they absolutely said that Washington had over 150 slaves who did the work to make the plantation run.
