Quotes by Annette Gordon-Reed (?)

“Love does not require taking an uncritical stance toward the object of one’s affections. In truth, it often requires the opposite. We can’t be of real service to the hopes we have for places—and people, ourselves included—without a clear-eyed assessment of their (and our) strengths and weaknesses.”
― Annette Gordon-Reed, On Juneteenth

“Laws are sometimes put on the books not for purposes of strict enforcement but as statements about the community’s values.”
― Annette Gordon-Reed, The Hemingses of Monticello

“History is always being revised, as new information, comes to light and when different people see known documents and have their own responses to them, shaped by their individual experiences.”
