A great American has passed.  A man who sought to tell America’s real history has now become a part of it.

While he had been retired for many years before I arrived, he was still a presence at Boston University.  My first year he gave a speech at the Morse Auditorium about the war, the Democrats, and the need for a movement.  During the question period I asked him what we could do in our schools, communities, workplaces, and places of worship to democratize our society.  He responded by talking about the anti-nuclear movement and its decentralized and vital character, how it was victorious without being commanded from above.

I hope that people read his work and contemplate his life, and are inspired to renew the struggles for justice.
