The U.S. National Slavery Museum's chapter 11 case has been dismissed and a donor has agreed to pay about $250,000 in back taxes owed to the city of Fredericksburg, Va., the Associated Press reported on Friday. Bankruptcy Judge Douglas O. Tice Jr. granted the museum's motion for dismissal motion on Friday after a ruling earlier last week that allowed Celebrate Virginia to be a party to the case. Celebrate Virginia donated land in Fredericksburg where the museum is to be built. The development company had asked Tice to convert the case to chapter 7 or dismiss it.
