My contribution to the October print edition of The Atlantic. “Is Democracy Dying?” the edition asks on the cover. My essay is based on Lincoln’s House Divided speech in 1858. “One hundred sixty years after Lincoln warned of the dangers of disunion brought on by slavery, Americans must bear witness to racism’s destructive power. This government cannot endure, permanently half racist and half antiracist.” https://www.theatlantic.com/…/a-house-still-divided/568348/…
