MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Gov. Bob Riley signed a resolution Thursday
expressing "profound regret" for Alabama's role in slavery and
apologizing for slavery's wrongs and lingering effects.
"Slavery was evil and is a part of American history," the Republican
governor said. "I believe all Alabamians are proud of the tremendous
progress we have made and continue to make."
Alabama is the fourth Southern state to pass a slavery apology,
following votes by the legislatures in Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina. Alabama's Democrat-controlled Legislature approved the
resolution last week.
