Cosby: Let's all give $8 each to build slavery museum
 

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/09/22/cos....ap/index.html

I would like to think that more people would want to give the money - $8 isn't much at all..... comments?

I read the link on CNN, I actually support the idea and would like to see something like this come to fruition

Wow. It's really pretty crazy that such a museum doesn't already exist - this is definitely important, IMO.

its not crazy for the PC-ness of our society telling us to either forget slavery ("picking old scabs, like http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_33/b3997082.htm") or simply saying that it didnt happen or that it wasnt a big deal.

then again, the holocaust museum got built, right?

p.s. how do we donate? what's the site? how does cosby get our money?

Yeah...i remember when the got the site in Fredericksburg...it's supposed to be off of the highway (95)...I think its a great idea...just curious like others how the money will be collected? (well, where to send it to).

I know thats right! I am even willing to tack on a zero or two for my donation.

There is more information regarding the museum and how to donate - either by mail or on line

My kids have sent their money for the museum. They had to put their money together to get to 8.00, but you know mama helped them out and added a little more.

I'm so excited about this museum! This is really important!
