I am 76 year old and at this age I discover the fact that ALL IS NOT LOST ! There are still many people around the globe who are so emotionally , and intellectually attched to the the people who have been struggling for the " JUSTICE"
Not the kind of justice which is part of conspiracy ( ! )

Excellent post. Thank you.

I expect that the people who should read it will not: I refer to that breed of younger "activists," and I expect we could all name some, who despite all their talk about "grassroots" have thoroughly embraced the inside-the-beltway notion that the only "serious" work revolves around intra-(Democratic-)party maneuvering; people for who a primary challenge to an incumbent is a radical action and to who on-the-streets actions are "alienating," vaguely icky, or both.

Thanks, Juan, for this out-of-the-ballpark post. I am forwarding it to everyone I know today: we all need the inspiration. Best, L.

Martin Luther King could articulate moral value better than anyone. I think part of the intense loathing that surrounded him, and ultimately killed him, was due to this quality – he left nowhere to hide.

Professor Cole, you put a superb frame on this important day.
