I'm descended from 18th century Maryland tobacco farmers who had slaves. I married a man who turned out to be the most racist man I have ever known. My only value to him was how I could be of service to his needs. We are divorced now, but I know that racism and misogyny are passed down through the generations.

I'm truly sorry for the injustices you have suffered in the past and continue to endure in the present.

Please tell me what I can do to make amends.
