Stories are powerful. That's why the experience of Kilmar Abrega Garcia resonates so much more than the policy or politics behind it. I think of him as I go about my life as a free person.

Thanks, Peter. Much of what I learned about being a real historian came from you! "Fight like hell for the dead!"

You've been a sportswriting griot in your time!

This is so beautiful Chris.
Thank you, Linda! I appreciate your reading!
The historians will save us....thank you!
