The Fourth Of July

I have been a citizen of this nation for 67 years. My parents generation fought for freedom against the fascists. As Jews, my parents always felt that America was the last best hope for the future.

I never thought I would live to see the day when people would have to consider leaving this country due to racial and religious discrimination as well as unrestrained violence.

This to me is a day for reflection and renewed dedication to the principle of equal justice under law, not celebration.
