Anniversaries of Death
I don’t keep a record of them all, although I remember the dates most important to me.
Jeff’s post on 911 resonated most with me today.
For me 911 invokes, not only the threat to our society which it carried out, but also every brutal slaughter and execution lodged in my memory. I think of most of my family members dying under the Soviet regime, and this, just like 911, re-enforces to me the value of our freedom, and the extent to which I passionately believe in fighting to protect it.
Focusing on freedom today strikes me as a fitting tribute.
I’m reading more today on banned books, including sassymonkey’s third in a series on Banning Books In Schools on BlogHer.
If you want to join in reading about freedom today, here’s another place to start …the ALA Intellectual Freedom Issues page.
