SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ▶ In “The uncertain future of places

that preserve America’s past” (Aug. 3/Aug. 10), we mistakenly included a

photograph of a replica of the House of the Seven Gables, not the original.

TALK TO US

WHAT YOU

SAID ABOUT ...

JOHN LEWIS (1940–2020) The Aug. 3/

Aug. 10 tribute to late Georgia Congress-

man John Lewis was an education for

readers on the civil rights movement—

and its legacy. John A. Gover in Rio Ran-

cho, N.M., wrote

that Brittany Pack-

nett Cunningham’s

essay was an “ex-

ceptional” lesson

on how Lewis infl u-

enced today’s activ-

ists. Judy Richard-

son of Silver Spring,

Md., one of Lewis’

Student Nonvio-

lent Coordinating

Committee (SNCC) colleagues, said the

remembrances by fellow SNCC activists

“clearly refl ected the spirit and organizing

philosophy that energized our work.” And

James P. McGill of Reno, Nev., wrote that

Lewis was a model of resilience, “born

into times of despicable imperfections

and injustice” who “found the courage to

dedicate a lifetime to staring that evil in

the face.”

‘John Lewis

was the

conscience

of a nation

in need

of one.’

ENRIQUE PUERTOS,

Cleveland, Ga.

‘What a

strong

woman.

Respect.’

NO PLACE TO SHELTER After reading Be-

linda Luscombe’s profi le of homeless New

Yorker Constance Woodson, in that same

issue, several readers were moved to off er

Woodson a place to stay and ask how to

send her money. Bon-

nie Corcoran in West

End, N.C., said she

has an extra room and

would help Woodson

fi nd a job there, while

Ruby Lynn Trotter of-

fered to fl y her out to

Missouri to stay in her

house. J.M. Vaughn

in Greenville, S.C., hopes the profi le “helps

awaken some cold hearts.” Woodson “is

a brave soul,” Irene Stundel of Brooklyn

wrote. “I hope her future is brighter.”
