ATLANTA — A federal labor says some of its members found what it called a "racist book open and on display" in a Republican Georgia congressman's Washington office.
The said the 1897 book that glorifies Confederate history was open to a page that read: "The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, societally, and physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their instruction as a race."
Drew Ferguson said in a statement that his staff had decorated the office and he did not know the book was there.
