RE: If Lincoln had not died
Tom,
Institutional racism may be on the wane (and in some instances I would disagree with that), but on a personal level it's alive and well throughout society. The difference is 50 years ago it was wide open for all to see. Today it's far more hidden because very few want to be openly accused of harboring racist views. However, I would even go one step further and say that even the most ardent abolitionist might be surprised as the strides made in our society. The danger, as I see it, is to take so much comfort from what has been accomplished that we fail to see that it remains in danger of being taken away. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
