Friends,

Today Heather and I take a hard look at political violence in America — not just this week’s heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk but other violence I’ve witnessed, and the nation’s history of violence in politics — and we ask whether ther... more

    As you were speaking today, I was thinking of the benefits the G.I.’s got when they came back from war. College, housing and healthcare. This built the middle class Sadly black soldiers were excluded.
