THANK YOU SO MUCH, Hailey, for your excellent/thoughtful/disturbing essay, which I read actually in THE OKLAHOMA OBSERVER. Please don't give up on our state, Hailey! We were once a progressive state; we can be again, but we need people like you to make it happen. Check out Red Flag Press, and the new online journal oklahomarevelator.com, for example, to see that progressive movements are alive and well here. And, with all appropriate modesty, check out my books, "AN OKLAHOMA I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE" and ALTERNATIVE OKLAHOMA, both published by OU Press; part of my mission is to get this state which I love back in touch with its progressive roots, and I believe one way of doing that is through an approach to our history which emphasizes those parts of our past. Keep up the good work! Davis D. Joyce, Ph. D., OU, 1968
