1. Fantastic article, thank you

If I may add this from the article:

Kennedy’s call was to justice not to charity. Our “whole nation is degraded” by wrenching poverty amid astonishing plenty. Those born “under the most comfortable conditions” have “a responsibility to others less well off.” A society of infinite possibility cannot accommodate itself to yawning inequality and deprivation. To do so “ignores our common humanity and our claims to civilization alike.” For he who “diminishes the outcast and the stranger also denies America.”

What we lost on that day was immeasurable.
