"Accepting the past, warts and all"

Andrew Johnson · September 16, 2011 at 6:30pm

Seeing Mr. Ames’ post about Thomas Jefferson yesterday felt like the appropriate trigger to share my column this week in the Minnesota Daily. As you’ll see, I discuss judging historical figures to contemporary standards, and the potential dangers that come with it. Give it a read and feel free to share your thoughts.
