State Sen. Barry Loudermilk, a North Georgia Republican who has long touted gun rights, small government and tough restrictions on illegal immigrants, proposed Thursday that Georgia express remorse for its past history of slavery.
Loudermilk, of Cassville, believes the state should express “profound remorse and lamentations” for slavery.
“The resolution acknowledges the injustice that was brought on by this evil institution,” Loudermilk said.
