I had read about Lauri Carlton when her killing first made the news and was inspired by her courage defending people beyond her circle. We certainly know that with ever attack on her flag, she was also attacked herself verbally though she stood strong. What an amazing person and a fine tribute to her by Jason - Thank you. I sure suspect Pete Seeger would be pleased with your work.
I remember reading this story and mourning the loss of this brave and principled woman. I’m glad she has a song to commemorate her life. I also mourn the shooter whose mental state led to the loss of his young life. Such suffering for all.
Thank you for these comments, Kathy. I often wonder how it is (would be?) possible to end the hate. You can't legislate not hating a group or their supporters. If it's through education, then how can we educate those who do not agree? Maybe the only way is to take a stand of kindness like Laurie did and not back down.
