It’s a really good idea to read up on American history right now. It’s deeply empowering to know where we’ve been, in order to have a deeper understanding of where we are and what we need to do going forward. Each of us has to take it on ourselves to be leaders in a new era now.

I've been doing just that. I'm reading a book about the battle of Blair mountain, when times were so bad, the miners of West Virginia did battle with the coal operators.... Labor history is passionate and exciting, it makes today seem tame...
