Thanks for the 411 but it's never cool to post e-mails onto public forums. No. 1 the contents should be held private, No. 2 it leads to ppl's e-mail accounts being flooded with even more spam. |

Bill Cosby campaigns for slavery museum
Associated Press
Sept. 24, 2006 02:05 PM
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Bill Cosby called on each American to contribute $8 to help build a national slavery museum amid the battlefields of the Civil War.
Cosby, who already has committed $1 million to the project, joined Richmond Mayor L. Douglas Wilder on Friday in launching a new campaign to raise $100 million toward the Fredericksburg museum’s $200 million price tag.
“The incentive is that they would join in with the rest of the United States of America in saying yes, as an American, I gave $8 to help build something that tells the story,” he said in a teleconference with Wilder.
In a nation of some 300 million people, even a tepid response would surpass the $100 million goal, Cosby said.
He admitted this kind of campaign “generally fails badly.”
“But I’m going to try again because I’m going to present this national slavery museum as a jewel that’s missing in a crown.” The campaign marks the latest attempt at fundraising for the U.S. National Slavery Museum, a project in the works for more than a decade.
Wilder struggled to find a location before settling on a site near the Rappahannock River, a region where many Civil War battles were fought. He said the museum has about $50 million on hand.

I appreciate what you're saying and thank you for your comments. However, the email addresses are mine, the press office of the mayor and the organization raising the funds. We all accept the responsibility of what comes to us as a result of this posting.

It's not cool regardless. You posted someone else's e-mail address besides yours. Bad netiquette. |
