Shaw provides a wonderful example of looking at a disagreement from the other person’s point of view. It’s a skill that doesn’t seem practiced in a general way.

I’m very much looking forward to the book!

Thanks, Steven. As you can certainly attest to, these things take time.

very obvious from this, that the wait will be worth while.

I've always felt terribly sorry for Shaw's mother, who was quoted in Ken Burns' documentary as asking what she had done that God had been so good to her as to allow her to see a day when Shaw commanded African American troops. I know about Shaw's father's brave response to his son's death, but wonder about his mother's reaction.
