The lovers huddled close
under their shared blanket,
under the shade of an awning
on Michigan avenue in winter.
The big dog they had with them
even wore a coat.  He wagged
his tail and licked the young woman’s
blue cheek as she smiled, laughed,
and moved in closer to her lover.
Their sign read “We could really
use a miracle today.”  The dog wagged
his tail and hopped up on her body.

This is because it has shaped what happens in this country in so many ways, and continues to do so. A case in point is the parallels between the pre-Civil War slave patrols of the 19th century and the ICE/Border Patrol abductions of immigrants in the US today.

We Don’t Just Live Through History, We Make it

Good and Pretti must not have died in vain. We too must escalate, peacefully, strategically, and creatively. We must mobilize at all levels, including organized study of social and historical development. For we are not just feet and voices, but minds and spirits.
