Stayed on Freedom’s Call
(free copies at: https://archive.org/details/StayedOnF…)
includes two ‘imagination-rich’ walking tours, with songs, of Washington, DC. New interviews and research are woven into stories of old struggles shared by both the Jewish and African-American communities in the capital city.
Shared histories are explored from a new perspective of cultural parallels and parallel institution-building which brought the two communities together culturally and historically.
Please leave a review, if you can, on the GoodReads page.

For the moment, Quips, yes, I must agree that it is. But with enough work and solidarity, or empathy, rather, I believe that we can turn that around.
I’ve just finished writing a section on libraries that I’ll be grateful to see your thoughts about, once it posts on Wednesday.

I’ll take a look at it. I am not a Fox news person but I try to read the highlights in the WSJ editorial (I get the highlights daily). It’s an alternate point of view, but seems more fact based than many I have read. Today was not one of those days.

I think I missed something: Fox, WSJ? I was referring to the ongoing rough draft of my book on Wondering Wednesdays…

I was responding to your need for empathy, which may begin with understanding–trying to read some of what the other side regards as the truth may help with the understanding.

American society is a hodge-podge of confusion; rarely does anyone know fact from fiction, no matter what their political affiliation.

This is true, unfortunately, but not a fixed thing. You and I both teach, so we know that things can (and must!) be different.

It can be, if majority of us want it to be.

Yup. And with enough time and decent education, the majority will become more reasonable. At least I have to have the faith that that is the case…
