Great piece Ester. And thanks for the various music recommendations. May we continue to strive for (and fight for) a day when the 4th of July is a happy day for all, with the recognition and understanding that until all are free none are free.

A good summary of all we have to think about this year. Thank you.

I have to dispute that the Democratic Party is the party of neo-liberalism. The African-American community is only where they are today because of Lyndon Johnson first, and the Democratic Party second. I've been a declared Democrat since 1960 (JFK and in seventh grade). Yes, we have our neo-liberals, but we've never turned away from our responsibility to the weak and dispossessed.
