Are you watching Ken Burns’ The War on PBS this week? The story of World War II shows the best of the United States, but the fact that racism and segregation and ignorance were in full force also shows some of the worst of our country’s history. Burns has crafted an unflinching look at the United States’ role in World War II, and the very human faces of the people who lived through it. Watch it. We have a lot to learn from our nation’s history.
