In Happened in America
On February 9, 2018 I did a post called A Silver Golf Trophy and Prejudice. In it I wrote about an old movie starring Gregory Peck called Gentleman's Agreement that won picture of the year and the book by the same name written by Laura Z. Hobson about anti-semitism in America in the late 1940s.
I went back to this post [here] this weekend after seeing the shocking news of a gunman opening fire on innocent people in a Pittsburg synagogue.
In my post I thought that surely these old prejudices no longer existed, not in America.
I was wrong and I am sickened by how wrong I was.
Eleven people killed and more injured, as they worshipped.
In America.
