Thoughtful as always. I appreciate your understated writing style in a time of superheated rhetoric.

We can never be too sure of our status as US citizens. I am the first born of Irish immigrants who came to the US at the start of the Great Depression, so I count myself grateful for their sacrifices. Others are at risk, and we cannot sit back.

Thank you for a very informative piece. Very sadly, I am in fear of the near future. We are leaving the country on a cruise and have had more than one person joke if I would be able to return... I've also instructed my sons to carry a copy of their passports on their phones should they be stopped as it is happening here in flori-DUH.

Thanks for comment. I see my headline has American Americans rather than African Americans. I check out Michigan Advance and always look for your byline.
