The morning view, a short walk from our campsite at Grant Village in Yellowstone. We spent three wonderful days exploring the park before continuing our drive west.

This afternoon we drove through miles of cotton fields in Missouri, the state with the frightening distinction of being the subject of a travel advisory issued by the NAACP this summer to people of color traveling through the state.
The numerous racist incidents, and the statistics cited by the Missouri Attorney General in the advisory, namely the fact that African Americans in Missouri are 75 percent more likely to be stopped and searched by law enforcement officers than Caucasians, are unconscionable, and are simply unacceptable in a progressive society.
I think it was William Faulkner who said, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
