I wish that I had something worthwhile to say about Ta-Nahisi Coates’ reaction to completing McPherson’s “Battle Cry of Freedom.” Unfortunately, I can’t imagine there’s much to be said that wouldn’t detract from it. So all I’ll say is that it’s the most compelling piece of long-form blogging I’ve read in quite some time. That, and the title is pretty damn good to boot.

That was a great post. TNC is regularly a great blogger/writer. Just killer stuff. His comments board is one of the very few comments sections with a lot of replies that is also worth reading. There is so much good stuff there.
If only others could be so reflective and honest about their own mythologies…Report
