Yes, who would it hurt, admitting that wrong had been done to an entire group of people and for that the nation apologizes. Take a look at Canada every year they seem to be apologizing to a new groups of people they have oppressed along the lines.
It only serves to quell anger and strengthen communities. It is a small gesture that would mean a great deal to a large number of Americans.

Not unless you want to apologize to me also. For treating my parents and grandparents like they did not exist. Most of the wealthy elite in the Country looked way down on hard working farmers or share croppers that sometimes could not make a living. They were so poor they like to have starved to death. Do you think the Government or the wealthy did anything except look at them as throw-a-way people. At least the slaves were valued to some extent and were fed, clothed and given shelter.
