Having lived longer and healthier than most people, I am very thankful. But the world we inhabit has had me concerned. As a person who reads history, we are in a precarious place. On the other hand, we have been here before.
I’m thinking of the 1960s, World War II, the Civil War, and the Revolutionary War that shaped this country. Those past events could all have been the end of this great experiment we proudly call the United States of America, but those events only made us stronger.
“We shall overcome” were the words of Dr. Martin Luther King and, when President Lyndon Johnson spoke those words, MLK cried. He cried tears of joy because he knew he had won the day. We will win the day again.
Happy Thanksgiving.
