Abraham Lincoln. Amanihotep Smith. Trayvon Martin.
In 1838 Abraham Lincoln gave a speech called On the Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions. Lincoln argued that if we should ever surrender the blessings of this country it would be by our own hand, and that could happen if lawless people so control our society with no effective response from the government, that our way of life is destroyed. The Mattapan massacre and the killing of Trayvon Martin suggest we are some distance down that path.
