I''ve recently just discovered I am a descendant of Benjamin Darling.

I'm Ben's 6th great grandson. If u look at the photos the darker skinned people look moorish. I'm starting to think Ben was moorish. Some have suggested that Malaga's name may derive from the wreck of Captain Darling's brig which was loaded with timber from Malaga, Spain.Alcazaba of Malaga is the most well preserved example of a Moorish citadel in Spain. It is next to another historical site: the Roman Theater.r

True story.

"I'm,sorry" ?
No,you're not.
A true apology would be giving the land back to the descendants.
A word salad doesn't right the wrong that was incurred.
The land is still stolen.
Governmental theft is theft no less.
Give the land back.
