I was surprised at how small the famine memorial in Boston is, and glad my ancestors grew up and became contributing citizens of this country nonetheless.
Thankfully this country is quickly filling up with people with their own tales of woe who couldn’t care less about an evil institution that ended 150 years ago (and had only been allowed for about 80 years before that in this country); they don’t buy it as justification for the murders and robberies they suffer when they live near the descendants of those slaves.
Well stated!!
The Irish could have cried about their ill reception. They didn’t. They prospered.
Who will be the voice that wakes up that lost 15 percent of our population? I don’t know.
BTW, didn’t know about the famine memorial. You learn something new every day :)
