I read your writings, but don’t often comment. Today I so identified with your life story of working on the arc towards justice that I decided to send you my gratitude for your life, your writings, your inspiration. Deep in my heart I do believe that we (and many) have made a difference. Clearly more is needed, so onward!
I spent three hours this morning adding files to Delta Pace Human Development Project. Not only was it a great project, but Mississippi 100 and Mississippi II (returning to communities that had Town Meetings to support their next steps) were amazing. Maybe this story and others under Town Meeting Intensified will inspire people related to America250 (July 2026). ICA staff in Chicago are talking with members of the IL America250 Commission (and have sent them a proposal at their request) to determine whether Town Meetings (or some variation) might be a part of the 250th year celebration. Each state has an America250 Commission, many with websites. I wonder what North Carolina’s America250 Commission (https://www.america250.nc.gov/) is up to? I often think about how much the US needs to have Town Meetings blanketed across it like we occasioned 50 years ago.
