Good afternoon, everyone. Im Peter Carmichael, a member of the Street Department night mist i gettysburg college. Im also the director of the civil institute. It is my pleasure to welcome edward ayres for the rubber bloom lecture. Professor ayres is the tucker boat pfizer of the humanities professor of the humanities and erutissor emmer richmond. At the university of richmond. He also wrote the promise of the new south. An excellent book i read in grad school many years ago. The authorly, he is of the thin light of freedom, the civil war and emancipation in the heart of america, published in 2017. And the 2018 lincoln prizewinner.

killed. phoenix, a 14-year-old girl was gunned down and 8 others shot at a strip mall in south carolina, where bullets tore through a graduation party, leaving one dead and others injured, six children. in texas, georgia, new york, and michigan. add those numbers up with the other mass shootings over the first months of 2022, and you get 240 mass shootings. let me say that again. 240 mass shootings already this year, in a year that s not even half over. what will republican governors, legislators, and members of congress do to stop the continued killing of our children in schools, our teenagers at malls, our mothers at graduation parties, our families in church, our grandmothers in supermarkets, our friends at country music festivals? it looks like nothing. nothing to speak of. i just want to know, this so-called party of life, which is anything but, when will they ever respect the life of those who are actually drawing a breath? i don t know. it looks like never. but i will
