Happy to oblige.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Baptist_Convention"In 1995, the convention voted to adopt a resolution
renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery, segregation, and white supremacy.[48][49] This marked the denomination's first formal acknowledgment that racism had a profound role in its early and modern history."
https://www.gotquestions.org/Southern-Baptist-Convention.htmlThe Southern Baptist Convention got its start in 1845 during the turmoil that led to the Civil War. As with the war itself, there were many factors that led to the division between North and South,
but the headline issue for the church was slavery. Following the great revivals of the early 1800s, many Baptist churches in the northern states took a strong stand for the abolition of slavery. Though the Triennial Convention attempted to mediate the issue by establishing a non-committal policy on slavery, the southern churches felt slighted in the national meeting and formed their own convention at the First Baptist Church of Augusta, Georgia. Though they differed on the issue of slavery, the Southern Baptists and Northern Baptists essentially held the same doctrines following the split. One key distinction in practice was the cooperative movement in the Southern Baptist Convention. Whereas the Northern Baptists maintained their independence, the Southern Baptists formed a cooperative body to support world missions and other causes. These cooperative efforts were directed by the central administration rather than the churches.
"In forming the denomination, Southern Baptists wanted to maintain the autonomy of the local churches while creating an alliance of churches working in friendly cooperation. The denomination does not ordain ministers, assign pastoral positions, or mandate contributions, as these decisions rightly belong to the local churches. The primary goal of the denomination is to identify with like-minded churches and pool resources to establish and advance the work of the gospel. The “convention†lasts for 2 days each year, as messengers elected from the various churches gather together to address issues of doctrine and practice that impact the churches. The messengers develop and vote on resolutions that are then delivered back to the churches as recommended practices, but there is no authority to force churches into compliance."

founded in 1845 over the issue of slavery and whose leaders once championed segregation and Jim Crow laws, has made significant strides in recent years to reform its image on such matters. But when it comes to the denomination’s race relations, the past is a ghost whose haunting seems unending."

One doesn't "renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery, segregation"....if they never had a connection or supported slavery.
