Katrina, as a descendant of the nation’s leading slave-traders, was interviewed with Daniel Smith, a former civil rights activist and the son of a man born into slavery.
Katrina and Mr. Smith both emphasized that the Senate apology for slavery is merely a first step in the process of acknowledging the nation’s history of slavery and racial discrimination, and in addressing racial inequities in areas such as education and health care.
