Eighty years ago today, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged at Flossenburg, Germany, after having been arrested and incarcerated for plotting against Adolf Hitler.
Today might be a good time to read or re-read his Letters and Papers from Prison. It's a declaration of intent from a man who was steadfast in speaking his truth to power, consequences be damned.
I can't help but wonder what he'd make of all the red ballcaps.
