How about an inspirational report for a change?

I was inspired rather than discouraged this morning after finding a positive report, albeit in the form of an obituary, in this morning's Washington Post. 

These are the days of headlines about Lizz Truss, Vladimir Putin, and the craziness of U.S. politics as election day draws nearer. Where are the stories of those who might inspire us on the way forward, not divert us backward or sideways into some form of chaos?

This story is about Daniel Smith, identified as "one of the last children of enslaved Americans," who died recently at the age of 90.

And it recounts a long life lived under remarkable circumstances in the service of others. Here's the link.
