This week I was happy to present the Canton ACE Hardware Store with a congratulatory resolution celebrating their transition to becoming an employee-owned store.

The debate on Critical Race Theory reminded of an experience I had as a teacher.
I taught 8th grade history in South Baltimore. Part of our curriculum was on world religions.
One day my principal called me into her office. A student and her mom were there. The mom looked mad.

The mom spoke next. “Last night my daughter came home and told me: ‘That Jew is trying to convert us!”’
