Sam Brownback is introducing a resolution formally apologizing for slavery and Jim Crow.

I title the post “genuinely crazy” because I think that’s an apt description of Brownback. He may be crazy, but at least he’s genuine. And sometimes, it leads him to do surprising and moral things. Good for him. Such a resolution — which imposes no costs on the “innocent” but may be a critical psychological balm for the victims — is long since overdue.
