Republican Retreat On Wooing Minorities Held In Room Named After Slaveholders

Taegan Goddard caught this one.

…House Republicans are regrouping at a image makeover retreat in Williamsburg, Va. this week.

But it’s not looking so good.

Reporters quickly noted that a session for lawmakers called “Discussion on Successful Communication with Minorities and Women” will actually take place in the “Burwell Plantation” room at the resort where the retreat is being held.

It turns out, according to NBC News, the room “is named after the Burwell Family, a wealthy family that owned many slaves in 18th century Southern Virginia.”
