| Description | MONTGOMERY -- Alabama people are divided -- particularly along racial lines -- about whether the state should apologize for its role in slavery and the injustices of discrimination, according to the results of a new statewide poll.
The University of South Alabama/Press-Register poll conducted Monday through Thursday shows 45 percent of people would support such an apology, while 44 percent would not. The margin of error is 5 percentage points.
More than half of whites polled -- 56 percent -- were opposed to the state apologizing, while 84 percent of blacks were in favor. |
