Apology for historic wrongs

An apology for historic wrongs is an official acknowledgment by an individual, organization, or government that past actions or policies caused harm or injustice to others. It serves as a formal expression of regret, recognizing the pain endured and showing willingness to take responsibility. Such apologies aim to address and repair relationships, promote healing, and foster understanding by acknowledging past mistakes honestly. While they don't erase the harm, they demonstrate respect, accountability, and a commitment to move forward with greater awareness and fairness.
