The point is not just to identify the problems in American history, but to identify *with* the problem-solvers: abolitionists, women suffragists, early labor organizers, and civil rights workers. The chains of economic injustice need to be thrown off now, as chains of injustice…

Now it’s our turn; our time is no different. Today’s blockage isn’t a specific unjust institution, but rather an unjust economic paradigm that uses the bludgeon of corporate profit to essentially subjugate the majority of Americans.

Every generation has embodied the struggle between those who love the possibilities of freedom and will do anything to protect it, versus those who find such freedom inconvenient to their financial and/or ideological purposes and will do anything to block it.

Thus something beautiful was done and something evil was exposed. For 41 of the 56 signers of the Declaration were slave owners, embodying the essential struggle that has been the story of the U.S. from our very beginning.

The signers audaciously posited that all men are created equal and that all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That ideal was profoundly revolutionary; a step forward for humanity spiritually and morally as well as politically.
