RE: The America I Love Needs to Do Better
As I often do, I decided to search Ida Tarbell's papers for something that would provide some guidance in my thought process, and I found the following. While its focus was on Anti-Semitism, I think it could equally apply to what our country is facing today.
"It is a horrible thought that inside America, devoted as it is in the main to humans, democratic ideals for all men and women, whatever the race or color, the seeds of pogroms should be sprouting."
