VIDEO: Slavery Apology Testimony

Filed Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 12:00 PM

Jamala Rogers from the Organization for Black Struggle was the first person to testify at yesterday’s hearing of the House Committee on Slavery Impact.

The committee, which is considering State Rep. T.D. El-Amin’s resolution calling for the State of Missouri to apologize for its role in enslaving blacks, met in the historic Old Courthouse where the historic Dred Scott decision was first heard.
