Enlightenment and Faults

August 09, 2020 by Trevor Allen

I get the email newsletter from my Congressional representative, Anna Eshoo. A few weeks back she referenced a line of encouragement from Alexis de Tocqueville that moved her when voting on historic police reform legislation:

“The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.”

There may be many different perspectives, but it’s clear right now that there are many faults, and much we can be more enlightened about. Change doesn’t happen on its own. What are we going to do to change our world?
