Why we love the South despite its dark history

Posted February 20, 2012

As it often happens when friends gather in the South, the conversation turned to The War. No, not Iraq or Afghanistan, but the Civil War. Please note, this was a gathering that included a former Peace Corps volunteer (ca. 1960s), a poet and anti-war activist and former founding members of a NOW chapter. People who might be labeled liberals. We happened to be Southerners, too.
