I will no doubt get myself into trouble with this one, but sometimes some things should be said.
I was with some friends recently, and the comment was made that we – all of us – are going through a time of difficult change which includes comments on racism and how its history should be treated. What should we teach our children? Should we take all of the statues down and rewrite our history books? Someone made the comment that what happened – happened. So, we need to teach this to our children so they can learn from it, never to repeat it.

Comment about In the Matter of Edwin Potter:
“While the information and research are interesting, the personal anecdotes are what make this book meaningful. Those who suffer from mental illness are more than a statistic. Geiger proves that by sharing about his illness and his court trial.”
