Republican Presidential candidate John McCain said congress should apologize for slavery and segregation, calling them "dark chapters in our history," yesterday.
McCain said he will support a planned resolution to apologize for racist laws.
"I would support it, because I think it's appropriate," he said. "I certainly would support any recognition of the dark chapters in our history."
McCain emphasized that words alone cannot make amends for the actions of the country. He said the U.S. should "continue our efforts to make sure that all Americans have equal opportunity to take part in this great, great free-enterprise system of ours."
The Arizona Republican pledged to "address the issues of poverty and lack of education in parts of America, including parts of South Carolina, parts of my state, that some of our Hispanic students are not getting the same quality of education we want them to."
