In 1865, the guns of the Civil War fell silent. Many Northerners believed the nation had been remade. Good over evil. Right over wrong. But they underestimated the determination of those who had lost. The Civil War ended 161 years ago. Yet Americans are still arguing over the same questions: who counts as a citizen, who can vote, and whose America this is.

@Deglassco today I listened to this family’s story about finding out who were their ancestors and what they did during the war: it really moved me.

Whenever I see pictures like this I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility, not for their troubles, but for their hopes and dreams - for any oppressed and exploited people that lived in the hope that their children, or somebody's children some day, would live in a better world. Mostly, people have lived without seeing much progress - our responsibility is to continue working for it, for them.
