I love the America that every abolitionist, unionist and suffragist insisted it could be. I love the Grand Canyon, the Appalachians, and the Coastal Plains. I love the people, the mob, the crowd, the mass. All the great work of the world is done through them.
Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸
