Not a lot of social distancing here

Not a lot of social distancing here but, then again, this was 1890. Historically, the easiest thing to say is ‘we’ were different ‘then’ and now we have to ‘make up’ for the ‘mistakes of the past.’ No, that is a fool’s errand. The point of pictures like this is to remember there has been slow but steady improvement over the years but the journey is not over. Life, history and social progress is not like a baseball game where you go from First Base to Second to Third to Home Plate. Life, history and social progress is the process of a glance back over our shoulders and saying, ‘Hey! We sure didn’t know what we were doing then!’ as we march forward to a better tomorrow.  www.authormasterminds.com/steve-levi
