On a bright, cold morning last November, I walked Boston’s Black Heritage Trail, a hidden gem among the city’s trove of historic sites. I had followed it decades ago as a graduate student and was returning now with my mother after a recent move to Massachusetts. I was especially looking forward to revisiting one stop on the trail — Lewis Hayden’s house, in the now-affluent Beacon Hill neighborhood. |

It is a pleasant surprise for the New York Times to publish what is, essentially, a pro-gun article by a liberal Black historian.
He needs to become better informed on the issues. He views the NRA as " an organization that stands in the way of laws to get automatic rifles out of the hands of people who might kill school children." He doesn't know that "automatic rifles" have, with few exceptions under the National Firearms Act, already been effectively banned since the 1930s. Perhaps he does not know the difference between fully automatic rifles (the gun keeps firing as long as the trigger is held down and there are bullets in the magazine) and semi-automatic rifles (the gun discharges only one round with each pull of the trigger). |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
