Whereas millions of Africans and their descendants were enslaved in the United States and the 13 American colo- nies from 1619 through 1865; Whereas slavery in America resembled no other form of invol- untary servitude known in history, as Africans were eap- tured and sold at auction like inanimate objects or ani- mals;2 Whereas Africans foreed into slavery were brutalized, humili- ated, dehumanized, and subjected to the indignity of being stripped of their names and heritage; Whereas enslaved families were torn apart. after having been sold separately from one another; Whereas the system of slavery and the visceral racism against, persons of African descent upon which it depended be- came entrenched in the Nation’s social fabric; Whereas slavery was not officially abolished until the passage of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitu- tion in 1865 after the end of the Civil War, which was fought over the slavery issue; ‘Whereas after emancipation from 246 years of slavery, Afri- can-Americans soon saw the fleeting, political, social, and cconomie gains they made during Reeonstruetion evis- cerated by virulent racism, lynchings, disenfranchisement, Black Codes, and racial segregation laws that imposed a rigid system of officially sanctioned racial segregation in virtually all areas of life; Whereas the system of de jure racial segregation known as “Jim Crow,” which arose in certain parts of the Nation following the Civil War to create separate and unequal societies for whites and African-Americans, was a direct result of the racism against persons of African descent engendered by slavery; Whereas the system of Jim Crow laws officially existed into the 1960's—a century after the official end of slavery in America—until Congress took action to end it, but the vestiges of Jim Crow continne to this day; Whereas African-Americans continue to suffer from the eon- sequences of slavery and Jim Crow—long after both sys- sHRES 194 1H3 ‘tems were formally abolished—through enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty, the frusi and professional lives, and the long-term loss of ineome ion of careers and opportunity Whereas the story of the enslavement and de jure segregation of African-Americans and the dehumanizing atrocities committed against them should not be purged from or minimized in the telling of American history; Whereas on July 8, 2003, during a trip to Gore Island, Sen- egal, a former slave port, President George W. Bush ac- knowledged slavery's continuing legacy in American life and the need to confront that legacy when stated that slavery “was . . . one of the greatest crimes of history not end with The racial bigotry fed by slavery did slavery or with segregation, And many of the issues that still trouble America have roots in the bitter experience of other times. But however long the journey, our destiny is sot: liberty and justice for all.”; Whereas President Bill Clinton also acknowledged the deep- seated problems caused by the continuing legacy of rac- ism against African-Americans that began with slavery when he initiated a national dialogue about races Whereas a genuine apology is an important and necessary first step in the process of cial reconciliation; Whereas an apology for centuries of brutal dehumanization and injustices cannot erase the past, but confession of the wrongs committed can speed racial healing and ree- onciliation and help Amerigans confront the ghosts of their past; SHRES 194 1H4 Whereas the legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia has recently taken the lead in adopting a resolution officially and other expressing appropriate remorse for slave! State legislatures are considering similar resolutions; and Whereas it is important for this country, which legally recog nized slavery through its Constitution and its laws, to make a formal apology for slavery and for its successor, Crow, so that it can move forward onciliation, justice, and harmony for all of its citizens: Now, therefore, be it, nd seck ree- Resolved, That the House of Representatives— (1) acknowledges the fundamental injustice, cmelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery and Tim Crow; (2) apologizes to African-Amerieans on behalf. of the people of the United States, for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors who suffered under slavery and Jim Crow; and (3) expresses its commitment to rectify the lin- gering consequences of the misdeeds committed against African-Americans under slavery and Jim Crow and to stop the occurrence of human rights violations in the future. ° sHIRES 194 1HPope Francis apologises for Catholic crimes against indigenous peoples during the colonis... Page 1 of 2 oNy@INDEPENDENT Pope Francis apologises for Catholic crimes against indigenous peoples during the colonisation of the Americas ‘Grave sins were committed against the native peoples of America in the name of God! Zachary Davies Boren Friday, 10 July 2015 On his first papal visit to his native Latin America, Pope Francis issued an historic apology to the native peoples of the Americas for sins committed by the Catholic Church during the conquest of the continents, At a social justice summit in Bolivia, at which many indigenous groups and the country's first-ever indigenous president Evo Morales were in attendance, the first-ever Latin ‘American pope "humbly" asked for forgiveness. In his speech, Francis said that many Latin American Catholic leaders have previously addressed the “grave sins committed against the native peoples of America in the name of God". He also recalled that, during a visit to the Dominican Republic in 1992, Pope John Paul IT had apologised for the "pain and suffering” over the hundreds of years since the Church arrived at American shores. But Francis went further. le said: "I humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offences of the church herself, but also for crimes committed against the native peoples during the so-called conquest of America.” Going off-script, he continued: "I also want for us to remember the thousands and thousands of priests who strongly opposed the logic of the sword with the power of the cross. There was sin, and it was plentiful http://www independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/pope-francis-apologises-for-catholic-c... 7/26/2015Pope Francis apologises for Catholic crimes against indigenous peoples during the colonis. Page 2 of 2 http://www. independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/pope-francis-apologises-for-catholic-c... "But we never apologised, so I now ask for forgiveness. But where there was sin, and there was plenty of sin, there was also an abundant grace increased by the men who defended indigenous peoples.” The indigenous groups burst into applause following his comments, with one leader, Adolfo Chavez, saying: "We accept the apologies. What more can we expect from a man like Pope Francis?” “It's time to turn the page and pitch in to start anew. We indigenous were never lesser beings." Six million flock to see Pope in Philippines The speech was made at a particularly sensitive moment for Church relations with Native Americans, with Francis’ controversial plans to canonise the 18th Spanish priest Junipero Serra, who set up missions across California. Where Native American activists claim the priest brutally converted indigenous people to Catholicism, the Vatican says he actually defended them against violent colonists. The affectionate response Francis received was in stark contrast to the furore his predecessor Benedict XVI sparked when he visited the continent in 2007. He said the indigenous people of Latin America had been ‘silently longing" to become Christians before they were forcefully converted and displaced. Mexican Bishop Raul Vera, who said the church was passive in the enslavement of the continent by the Spanish, said Francis’ apology was especially moving given the setting and circumstances.

In keeping with his values, Francis hit out against an unjust global economic system and called for a "fitting distribution" of the Earth's resources. Following his climate change encyclical last month, the Pope criticised the "cowardice" of the world's governments for failing to protect to Earth, saying that while it "is being pillaged, laid waste and harmed with impunity [...] one international summit after another takes place without any significant result Additional reporting by Associated Press 7/26/2015
