Sadly, this appears to be true, Marti! But we will go on. I just saw Jon Meacham on Ali Velshi's show on MSNBC. Ali gave a brief but beautiful editorial on his experience as a child growing up in South Africa. It was a history lesson of all of the periods of disappointment and despair that have occurred in our country, from moments during the Revolutionary War when it looked like we could not win, to the movement in the South to secede from the Union, and more. Ali said, as an immigrant to this country, that America has gone through some terrible times in its history and survived. When asked by Ali what he would say to Americans who are feeling despair in this moment, Jon Meacham quoted Frederick Douglas, an escaped slave, who said that American soil was a more propitious soil in which to fight against the South's dishonor than any other place! This, from an escaped slave! It was a VERY beautiful segment on a show I do not normally watch, but I am renewed in my decision to continue to fight! We are bigger and better than this moment!
