Anne, I just learned on a Historic Chevy Chase DC walking tour a couple weekends back that James Reeb was living in a house in Chevy Chase, I believe at the time he died. I had no idea.
Beautiful commentary on the importance of voting in November for a future that builds on the work and sacrifices of the people you remembered on your trip. During the. 60s, the Johnson Foundation sent a group of university of Wisconsin students (of which I was one) to the South during the time of such turmoil and hatred. Burned into my memory...I would like to go back some day. Maybe your tour guide is a place to start. Thank you for your weekly commentary. I look forward to each one.

He spent a few years at All Souls (a WIN member!)

Anne, that was an extremely well-written and effective statement to young people/progressives angry with Biden. I dearly hope it spreads far and wide.
Thank you, Anne, for sharing your trip to Alabama and for making the stakes of the upcoming election so clear.
