52 cultural sites in the US... in red states... I won't name them here but,

[mcar]

11. New Orleans, the Alamo

the recently opened African American museum with its memorial to lynching in Alabama. The Edmund Pettus Bridge. Savannah, Charleston, Atlanta, Cherokee, NC, Asheville, NC.

I can keep going. I've lived in FL for 30 years. Being a Democrat in a red/purple state, in a very red county, is a big challenge and gets frustrating.

OTOH, the Democratic Women's club that I helped to found had 42 people at its first meeting of the year - a record. And that number included 20 new people. Every one of our votes counts and some day, I hope, we can get to a point where we appreciate all our states -- once the Republican menace is gone.
