The kind of society you and I are working to build. A civil society is built by the smallest, simplest gestures. Things we do every day without thinking twice. Seventy-six years ago, Mrs. Burn from East Tennessee did such a thing. Women’s suffrage had come down to one vote – her son Harry, a 24-year-old Tennessee state representative, was […]
