“It ought to go without saying, but life in the United States of America was never “great” for everyone — and that remains true today. But even if the emotional decibel in America currently falls somewhere between anxious, traumatic and chaotic, whenever I listen closely, I hear a different tune: tune strung together by the millions of Americans who are on the ground, passionate and vulnerable, fighting for their space, nurturing their communities and celebrating the spectacular diversity that has the capacity to make this country live up to its name.”
