…and really, everything else I have in the links folder seems trivial. It’ll keep.
We Need to Talk about This: “Let Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jeb Bush, both of whom want to lead this troubled country, consider what it meant to absent themselves from campaign events in Charleston and think of these things and speak of them before they turn to their consultants about whether or not staying in a grieving city was what a leader should have done.” Hear, hear.
The Incredible History Of Charleston’s Emanuel A.M.E.: The Bravest Church in America’s discussion of whether there really was a slave revolt plot in Charleston (or white hysteria / murder of blacks for political gain) was interesting and had some good points.
