Discussing Statues: Theodore Roosevelt

Thomas Griffin (7/7/20)

Let Teddy Stay – Crisis Magazine (7/7/20)

Excerpt: “But let’s also get to know the man behind the statue. When it comes to politics and history, there is no one who goes unscathed morally. There are some, however, who clearly fought the good fight as human beings, and who forged a better path forward for the rest of us. Teddy Roosevelt is an example of an imperfect and ordinary man who called upon society to strive for greatness.”
