The decimation of civil liberties, carried out in the name of fighting terror, will shackle us to an interconnected security and surveillance state that stretches from Moscow to Istanbul to New York.

It was the human imagination that permitted African-Americans during slavery and the Jim Crow era to transcend their physical condition.
