#FotoVorschlag “Hoch hinaus” (Reaching for the sky) Lady Liberty on a dark winter morning last March. Most are familiar with her torch held high. But perhaps fewer know that she’s not just standing; she’s stepping forward, walking over broken chains that symbolize the abolition of slavery — and perhaps more generally, victory over tyranny and oppression. After the results of yesterday’s US midterms, I’m a little less ashamed to share this photo today. May this be only the beginning.
