We Shall Overcome
-
As the November elections approach, I'm reminded of how the Democratic Party lost the South when it stood up for civil rights in the 1960s. I'm enormously proud of that sacrifice, and we are fighting the same fight today. There will always be progressives pushing forward the great work of civilization, and there will always be backward people who resent it. The election of Obama brought out the racists and homophobes who have been simmering in the background, but we the people have to speak louder than them. And our leadership needs to speak our principles loudly and confidently as well.
