As an 84 year old who lived thought those years, I found your piece very moving. It remeinded me of King's phrase about the arc of the moral universe. So many of us were part of it. I remember my father supporting my teenage decision to picket Woolworth's in Boulder,Colorado, but insisting that I wear a nice dress and high heels. You brilliantly document what changed. I believe it was so strong that not even a malignant president can return us to where we were, despite setbacks.
Stuart, you are persistent in your quest to question the current political movement. Your messages are well-founded and sincere. I appreciate your messages about hope because I need the encouragement. I feel many Maga supporters need to believe their narrative without analysis. The narrative continues to grow. I don't know if the number of supporters has increased during this term or not. I know that martyrs have materialized and I see total buy-in into myths. I wrote a short story based on myths that is somewhat of a fable. I can send it to you if you're interested. The Last Season seems like a heartfelt book of memories and values. Your father had great insight. Thank you.
To me your narration reminded me of the phrase, "the pen is mightier than the sword." Your personal narrative of Old Miss, your dad, and your hope for our future provides context and an Eagle's view that we all need to hear. It was clearly, viscerally said from the heart and it is so impactful. I was raised in a small town in North Idaho. The few minorities who moved into our community did not stay long and over the years this area has been significant in its own way due to Richard Butler's Aryan Nations, and Ruby Ridge, and other extremist ideologues. Even recently a woman's sports team had to prematurely leave the area because of harassment. So these issues are not, obviously, contained to the south. I loved your hopeful statement that the future is yet unwritten and that the hope is "that our better angels emerge." Thank you, Stuart.
Thank you for your voice, Stuart! We need this on the national level. As long as the oval remains occupied by the current person, things will not change. Yes, I believe that most congress know right from wrong, but whatever the purpose, they choose silence and immobility. So any future discord is on them.
I echo the doubtless countless accolades on Stuart's moving monologue on how to maneuver in the fathomless turmoil enveloping our country. This is the only other item I could talk myself into watching, after yesterday's word fest, both intelligent and not so much, over the latest national Rubicon-crossing... God help us all.
Wow, what a great story.
Wonderful analysis....
This was an uplifting “pregame” talk for all of us! United We Stand! ❤️💙.
Thank you, Stuart! Good words for us to contemplate.
Just put your book on hold at the library. I'll be reading it soon
Beautifully spoken, Stuart. Thanks for this.

Thank you, Stuart. This is a remarkable message deserving of serious reflection as we continue on the path forward.

So appreciate your insights.
Thank , too, for sharing the personal life event with your father. So poignant and the uplift needed

I wish you had a national platform, your voice is essential.
Thank you for this, Mr. Stevens.
