Sign hung from a dorm window at New York University shortly after the 1970 shootings of students at Kent State and Jackson State universities. Originally a message to Richard Nixon and the national guard at the time, it could just as easily have been directed to Hitler 35 years earlier or to Donald Trump and his fellow white supremacists 50 years later.

This ought to bring out the Trumpers.
It is a sad commentary that we can understand and apply this message in this year of our Lord 2020. We are truly living in perilous times.
Listening to the radio in the car today, Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young came on. I’m telling my age when I say I can remember this tragedy (though I was not quite a teenager then) and how sad I felt then and again today as I realized we are repeating history, in a way. I thought about how the young people of this country were the catalyst for change back then but, sadly, many of them are part of the establishment against which they marched.
