UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

I fear that I will die without accomplishing anything.
What I need to remember is I don't have to, say, publish a book to accomplish something. I accomplish a little something every time I make you think or even laugh.

Next week is the last week of classes here. As I say every semester, I try and end many of my history seminars with a quote from James Baldwin that answers the question of: why take humanities courses? (Time Magazine, May 24, 1963).
