Excellent article! So important to tell the truth about immigration and remind people what community means.

Thank you kindly, Mary Charlotte. With things going so quiet on the Burke Coalition for Reconciliation front for the past several months, it's been a LONG time since I've bumped into you.

Hoping you're doing well.

Thank you for the kind words, Jeanne. These are frightening times for a lot of folks, with so much progress being undone.

This piece was just so well written, combining empathy with facts. I shared it on Facebook too. Hope some of my neighbors here in the SC mtns will read it.

Much appreciated. I imagine there are similar dynamics at play in your neck of the woods, as well.
