Connecting the dots
On the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington (August 28th), Michelle Alexander (whose book, The New Jim Crow, I mentioned and quoted from here) posted the following Facebook status update: For the past several years, I have spent virtually … Continue reading

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness
For they shall be filled. Until now my writing here hasn’t dealt with “current events,” and to the extent it’s been political, it’s been in the past tense (of more-or-less distant history). But in this post I’m going to break … Continue reading
