    Genghis Khan vs. the Canceled West0

    It seems the legacies of historical figures like Christopher Columbus and Thomas Jefferson can’t be discussed without activists arguing that they were problematic characters.

    We Need Hard Words to Speak About Hard Realities0

    The radio news hour plays in my car: a calm, dispassionate voice, more background noise than anything.
