Does the American flag wave today? Most assuredly it does. This is the easy part. But does it fly over “the land of the free”? It is easy to imagine that freedom will be brought to us by a song, by jets over a stadium, by the land, by the ancestors, by the Founders, by capitalism. But is the notion that we are granted freedom right for a “home of the brave”? Is it not more courageous to ask what Americans have done, could have done, should do?
