Kansas City Faith Blogger Shares American Apology Thanksgiving Prayer

Former newsman and current blogger Bill Tammeus offers prayerful words which mourns his interpretation of American history and offer an apology at the outset of tomorrow's feast.

  There's a lot to consider in that question but this offering of thanks is a good place to start . . .

"Help us -- especially on this Thanksgiving Day -- to remember the truth that the U.S. was built by crushing and nearly obliterating the Indigenous people who lived here when the European invaders arrived. And those invaders also used enslaved people from Africa to lay this nation's foundations.
