If We Must Die

Smithsonian

There is a fine remembrance today in the Dailykos by Denise Oliver Velez about the bombing on Sept. 15, 1963 of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.  The article includes a marvelous poem by Claude McKay.

With Trump about to descend on Albuquerque on Monday, reading the article would be a useful preparation for New Mexicans to reflect on the history and origins of much of Trump's support as well as the trajectory of his administration.
