We lost a giant yesterday. Morgan was an incisive interpreter of the past, a profound thinker who grappled with great questions, and a wonderfully engaging and witty writer. I don’t think we’ll see his equal anytime soon.

Thanks for posting. I had not seen the news yet. I’m so sad, I feel like I should reread American Slavery, American freedom now.
I got the sudden urge to read it again when I found out, too.
