[Last week I
followed up my Valentine’s
Day talk on Exclusion
& Inclusion: The Battle to Define America by highlighting
exclusionary moments and histories. This week I’ll flip the script and
highlight some of the inspiring inclusive figures on whom my book will likewise
focus!]
I’ve written
about Yung Wing’s unique and representative, tragic and inspiring, illuminating
and vital American life and story many many many times, in
this space and other
online ones and my
third book. But I don’t know that I’ve summed up what his story and
identity can help us understand about exclusion and inclusion any more
succinctly than in this
January 2017 HuffPost piece. Check
it out and then come back here to share your thoughts, please!
Last inclusive
figures tomorrow,
Ben
PS. What do you
think? Other inspiring figures you’d highlight?
