Centennial light across the nation and the revolution
A lengthy reflective essay traces the April 16 Lexington and Concord actions, praising how daily press illumination now makes history accessible, contrasts past public knowledge with present understanding, and lauds the patriots’ lawful, disciplined stance amid war. It also laments pride and celebrates enduring moral and political lessons.
