Letter to the editor: Reconstruction theme

To the editor:

Perhaps in the new COVID-19 environment an old song, written by Katharine Lee Bates, could be our theme for reconstruction:

“O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee

And crown they good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!”

We see brotherhood coming to life in the middle of danger and death!

Rod and Margie Hinkle,

Lawrence
