Sound Beach Civic Association hosts Memorial Day service

The Sound Beach Civic Association hosted its annual Memorial Day service at Veterans Memorial Park May 31. Attendees of the event included New York State Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio (R-Riverhead), Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point), musicians from Rocky Point High School and veterans representing each branch of the armed services. Deacon Bob Mullane, of St. Louis de Montfort R.C. Church, delivered the invocation for the event. “We have gathered here today to remember those who have died in service to this country,” he said. “We commend them for their courage in the face of great odds. As citizens of this great nation, we remember the sacrifices, and those of their families and friends, with deep gratitude.” Jimmy Henke, a longtime resident of Sound Beach and war hero, raised the American flag during the ceremony. While serving in Vietnam on a reconnaissance mission, his company came under intense enemy fire. After exposing himself

to the gunfire, Henke carried a wounded comrade to a medical site. For his valiance in the face of tremendous danger, Henke was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. Following him, veterans from each of the armed services raised the flags representing their respective branch of services. Girl Scouts Julianna Gabrielsen and Anna Polyanksi laid the memorial wreaths. Performances were delivered by students from the music department of Rocky Point school district under the direction of Amy Schecher. Tessa Cunningham, Alexandra Kelly and Brenna Kiernan sang both the national anthem and “God Bless America.” Daniel Curley and Shaun Sander performed “Taps.” The event was concluded by a wind rendition of “America the Beautiful,” performed by Shane McDonald, Ryan McDonald, Jasmine Pickenburg, Matthew Liselli, Hannah Gundel, Brayden D’Ambrosio, Piper Rinn, Aneesh Deshpande, Vivian Dorr and Justin Pititto with Curley and Sander.

VFW Post 6249 hosts Memorial Day event

BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Veterans, community members and public officials gathered at the Rocky Point Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6249 for a Memorial Day service to honor the fallen. New York State Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio (R-Riverhead) attended the event. She spoke of how the sacrifices of American veterans have preserved the constitutional rights of citizens throughout history. “We are very grateful for all of our veterans and their families who have fought for our freedoms, for our right to be here in America and for our constitutional rights,” the assemblywoman said. Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) was also in attendance. She reflected upon the contributions veterans make to the community and on the deeply rooted legacy of service in Rocky Point. “Rocky Point is a very proud veteran community,” she said. “There is not a person alive that hasn’t been touched by a veteran who has been lost during war.” Commenting on the right of American citizens to free

expression, she added, “Whether or not we agree on how people are expressing themselves, the United States is the best nation on Earth because we can express ourselves, and that’s because of those who have fought for our freedoms.” Joe Cognitore, commander of VFW Post 6249, delivered an address to the audience assembled at the post. He used his platform to celebrate the many freedoms afforded to Americans through the sacrifices made by servicemen abroad. “The courage possessed by the men and women we honor today is something that cannot be learned,” Cognitore said. “It is something that is felt deep within. The willingness to die for our country is truly what makes America the home of the brave.” Following this speech, an extensive list was read aloud of the names of the post members who are no longer alive. A bell was rung after every 10 names to honor their memory. To learn more about the various offerings of Post 6249, visit rockypointvfw6249.org. — Photos by Raymond Janis

Bellone, Kornreich visit veterans home for Memorial Day service

BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Public officials gathered before a room of vets at the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University for a Memorial Day service Friday, May 27. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) gave the keynote address for the event. He continued the theme raised during his State of the County address a week earlier, invoking the example of the Greatest Generation as a model for Americans today. “I can’t help but think that it’s just at the moment when we see our World War II veterans unfortunately slowly, but inevitably, fade into history, that 80 years later we now see war raging in Europe,” he said. “It’s so important that we never forget what they did.” For Bellone, American veterans should be honored not only for their service abroad but for the work they perform for communities after they return from the battlefield. “It’s what veterans always do — they come

home after fighting for our country and they build and they strengthen our community,” the county executive said, adding, “To all our veterans who have served, you all have picked up the baton of service. From the Revolutionary War right up to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, American veterans have served and have sacrificed.” Brookhaven Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) was also in attendance. Saying that he was inspired by Bellone’s address, the councilmember commented on the need for policymakers to temper their power to wage war and monitor their decisions that threaten peace. Without memory of the great global conflicts of the 20th century, leaders today may be less cautious in their use of force. “Maybe people now who are making decisions, who didn’t live through it, maybe they don’t have the same reluctance to engage in war and the same urgency to avoid it,” Kornreich said. “Especially right now, with all of the conflicts that are going on, that’s a very good lesson. I can’t think of a better way to honor the memory of those who have died in war than to try to fight for peace.” — Photos courtesy of Long Island State Veterans Home

Eisenhower

The man whose D-Day plans secured a lasting peace in Europe BY RICH ACRITELLI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM By early July 1940, after Germany quickly defeated France, Hitler and his military leaders were photographed gazing across the English Channel. Many feared Hitler would order an invasion against the last remaining nation in Western Europe: Britain. While his senior military leaders planned for Operation Sealion, Hitler had always feared the might of the British navy, and a full-scale assault was never carried out. Instead, Europe suffered through four years of brutal German occupation, which included the Nazi air blitz on London and a genocide across the continent which sought the annihilation of Jews in Europe. The liberator of Nazi tyranny came in the form of a farm boy from Abilene, Kansas. Dwight D. Eisenhower was an affable character among his fellow officers. He was a talented football and baseball player, a writer and later an aide to Gen. Douglas MacArthur. By 1941 it was now his turn to lead the effort to dismantle the German war machine and to bring the war to a successful conclusion. Gen. Eisenhower ran his headquarters with a team-first mentality. He considered the British, French, Canadians, Norwegians, Polish and even Soviets as comrades rather than foreigners. These nations that had suffered through Hitler’s subjugation would be key elements to achieve total victory. By the spring of 1944, the war plans were laid to invade Nazi-occupied Europe from England. Major weaponry and reinforcements of soldiers, primarily from the United States, were sent to England to reinforce Eisenhower’s Operation Overlord. To cope with the stress of planning the invasion, Eisenhower smoked over five packets of cigarettes a day. Once living in poverty, the military commander had emerged as one of the most powerful men in the world, entrusted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill to change the tides of war in their favor. By 1941, Eisenhower had grown into a dependable officer who embodied the necessary skills to work well with the Allies. A talented strategist, he was the right man for the task. Although he was not as battle hardened as Gens. MacArthur or George S. Patton, Eisenhower possessed unique attributes that aided his planning. A graduate of U.S. Army Command and General Staff School, he was highly regarded

D-Day

This week marks the 78th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. Pixabay photo

for his writing skills and his clear understanding of fighting campaigns. Eisenhower was not only preparing an immense invasion, but a road map for the continued invasion after getting ashore. Having traveled extensively through France as a younger officer, his past experiences again proved invaluable. Always a likable figure, Eisenhower had the unique ability to resolve conflicts amongst his own senior command. His good friend Patton understood the value of this trait for he was a gifted commander but with an uncontrollable temper. Perhaps Eisenhower’s greatest challenge was seen through his relations with Gen. Charles de Gaulle. This renowned French leader refused to endorse the earliest speeches that called for his people to revolt against the Germans in the name of the Allies. De Gaulle

was supported by the Americans and British, but he believed he deserved greater authority over the major fighting in France. Dealing with this French leader was an obstacle only Eisenhower could surmount. In the days leading up to the D-Day invasion, terrible weather conditions threatened to further delay Eisenhower’s plans. The delays could prove to be catastrophic as the Germans were bound to learn of the true intention of this invasion, where they originally viewed Calais as the key spot that would be assaulted by this cross-channel attack. With the weight of the invasion and outcome of the war upon his shoulders, Eisenhower ordered 1,213 naval combat ships to move across the channel. 132,000 soldiers, stocked with supplies and equipment of every kind, headed off the Normandy beaches into the

interior. By the end of the day, on June 6, 1944, the final chapter of Hitler’s rule was being written as American, British and Canadian soldiers executed Eisenhower’s plans. Today, fighting rages on in Ukraine. But the resolve of the United States should never be doubted. On the 78th anniversary of D-Day, America remains a beacon for the world, always there in the darkest hour to oppose tyranny abroad and to prevent its expansion. We must remember the example of Eisenhower, who gave us the road map for a future of peace.

Rocky Point baseball team wins county championship BY RICH ACRITELLI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The moment of victory will be etched in the memories of those boys forever, a moment that fortuitously resembled the scene from the 1984 film classic, “The Natural.” At Rocky Point High School May 28, during the Suffolk Class A finals between Rocky Point and Mount Sinai, black clouds surrounded the field ominously, the threat of thunderous downpour looming in the background. Rocky Point mounted a storm of its own. After recovering from a 4-0 deficit to tie the game, junior phenom Dominick Carbone stepped to the plate with bases loaded. Amid rabid fans, enthused teammates and coaches sitting on the edge of their seats, the mighty Carbone was hit by a pitch from Mount Sinai pitcher Matt Galli, ending the game in walkoff fashion for a Rocky Point win, 5-4. In yet another “never quit” scenario, Rocky Point battled back from the jaws of defeat. And as the team rushed the field joyously, the clouds unleashed a driving rain and thunder, a supernatural reproduction of the play on field between these two talented North Shore baseball teams. The first game progressed quickly through a pitching duel between Mount Sinai starter Kyle Salvati and the eventual MVP of the tournament, Sean Hamilton. Relieving early in the game, Hamilton allowed only one hit and registered 12 strikeouts. Eagles captain, Cody Miller, had three hits, and was a dominant presence on the field and running the bases. He improved the team’s chances with the first of two runs, cutting down the deficit. Later, senior first baseman Christopher Ark continued to produce in big spots, driving in two runs that tied

the game. By no means was the game over, as Galli, who had two hits of his own, threw heat against the Rocky Point lineup. At one point, with bases loaded and no outs, Galli worked his way out of the jam. But the sheer presence of the Rocky Point batters who patiently gained nine walks amounted to an impressive comeback to win the game. The Eagles demonstrated an immediate resolve to grind out this contest, where they would take the lead, 1-0, in the series that was continued on Memorial Day at Mount Sinai. Again, it was a contest that would see the dominance of both starting pitchers, as the junior Carbone opposed St. John’s University-bound Chris Batuyios. Rocky Point struck with a first inning run and were never behind in this game. From start to finish, Carbone was dominating, only allowing two runs and seven hits against a capable lineup, striking out 12 batters. Later in the game, against the strength of J.T. Caruso, who throws 90 miles per hour, the Rocky Point bats erupted with hits by senior A.J. Walker, Ryan Smith and sophomore A.J. Aschettino, who had two hits of his own. Behind the pitching skills of Carbone, Rocky Point won, 10-2, to advance to the Long Island championship, which takes place Saturday at 4 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Athletic Complex, Patchogue. These boys, most of them seniors, have demonstrated their heart to play out every inning, and to handle every kind of adversity that comes their way. For this, they earned the county title. Hamilton summarized the character of this squad of players when he said, “A gutsy team which never relents until the game is over.” — Photo courtesy of Rich Acritelli

Editorial

We walk with you

Last week, students nationwide walked out of their schools to stand up against gun violence and to demand stricter gun laws, including young people in the TBR News Media coverage areas. It’s crucial for students to know that we journalists walk with you. We may not always be there physically, but we are always there in spirit. As community watchdogs, it is our duty to help educate people on what’s going on in their towns, and to let those in charge know that we are watching them too. Parents, teachers, administrators and lawmakers must understand that young people are terrified by the headlines of the lastest mass shootings at schools. Our youth are being targeted, as our grownups stand by without solutions. Yes, many school districts along the North Shore have several security measures in place. Visitors are often required to ring a buzzer before entering a front door, where an attendant will buzz them in. Once inside the main entrance, they cannot walk through the school without showing ID first. Often, a security guard or hall monitor will escort them to wherever they may be going. While we applaud district administrators who have taken extra precaution to secure their buildings, protecting the lives of children and teachers goes beyond locked-door policies. To prevent mass shootings — such as those in Uvalde, Texas; Sandy Hook, Connecticut; and Parkland, Florida — it is time for our nation to stop avoiding the deeper conversations about gun reform. The horrifying headlines we see every day will not disappear until there are real changes. If a parent visiting a school to see their son or daughter receive an award is required to go through a few steps just to walk through a school, then someone buying a gun of any kind needs to go through several measures. The procedures in place are simply not enough. We know that there are some in this country hellbent on committing senseless harm who yearn to leave a mark on this world by depriving it of what is good and pure. Our nation needs stricter gun control laws so that these deranged individuals can be denied the opportunity to be remembered for the carnage they inflict upon humanity. The fight against gun violence goes even deeper than stricter laws, though. The battle begins with making mental health services available to everyone who needs them, including our youngest citizens. Children should always know that there is someone to talk to and help them navigate whatever they are going through in life. Sometimes one’s journey in life may feel like a deep, dark tunnel. It’s up to parents, journalists, educators, administrators and elected officials to show our young people that there is always a light at the end of any tunnel. Most of all, students need to know that the adults in their communities are there for them. We encourage students to attend board of ed meetings and to step up and speak out. We also invite our young readers to write in and let us know how they feel about the current gun laws, school safety and whatever else may be on their minds. We are here for you.

WRITE TO US … We welcome your letters. They

should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for conﬁrmation. Email letters to: editor1@tbrnewsmedia.com or mail them to TBR News Media, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733

Letters to the Editor Protecting schools

Regarding the school shooting in Texas, which was a terrible tragedy. I was a Suffolk County police officer for 31 years and now retired. For the last 14 years of my career, I was a D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) instructor. My fellow D.A.R.E. officers and I spent 17 weeks in the elementary schools, five days a week, teaching students about drug abuse consequences, peer pressure and many other related subjects. I was known as Officer Richie and the school administrators, teachers and children were safe. We were in uniform and we were armed. Also the community knew we were in schools and we were a deterrent to anyone thinking about attacking our schools, knowing we were armed. We were the best police community relations for the public as well as role models for students. We served as security and educators for the schools and this was provided at no cost to the school district and therefore not a financial burden. Unfortunately the powers to be decided that we, as police officers, were better off on the street. It’s time for the school administrators and the police department to decide how best to protect our children before a tragedy occurs on Long Island. Richard Esopa Miller Place

Enough of classrooms being a battleground

Every child deserves a high-quality public education. Our schools should be safe, welcoming and nurturing to every student, regardless of background. Children should see themselves reﬂected in the materials that they study. Schools are meant to teach truth. On May 17, residents across Long Island and New York state’s 700 school districts afﬁrmed their commitment to their public education and rejected the divisiveness that has permeated our communities. School budgets were overwhelmingly supported, despite attempts to defund our public schools. Candidates for school board who supported voting down school budgets and opposed New York State Education Department’s curriculum of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives did not fare well. For more than a year, school board meetings, which have traditionally been quiet and perhaps even a bit boring, have become reality TV. We’ve witnessed residents screaming about masks, curriculum, comparing vaccines to Nazi Germany, suing their school districts — it’s been quite a season, and it’s likely to

continue. But the overwhelming majority of residents sent a message across Long Island and the state that we do not want this to be the new normal. We believe in teaching history as it happened. We believe in a curriculum that presents diverse perspectives. We reject censorship of our teachers and the banning of books. We believe in public health and keeping each other safe in a global pandemic that has taken over one million American lives. It is important that we recognize and harness that power going into our November elections, where politicians have weaponized our children’s curriculum, their protection against COVID-19, and their very lives, in regards to gun safety. We need to elect leaders who value our children more than their rating from the NRA. We need to elect legislators who will take meaningful action to end gun violence in this country, including reinstating the ban on assault weapons and enacting universal background checks. As an educator and parent, I have had enough of our classrooms being a battleground, when they are intended to safely nurture all of our children, regardless of background, and teach truth. Any politician who stands in the way of this should be voted out on Nov. 8, 2022. Our children deserve better. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Reaction to recent gun violence

Ten dead in a mass shooting in Buffalo, 21 dead in a school shooting in Texas. The shooting in Texas was actually the 27th school shooting this year in the U.S. It’s all too predictable. It’s the logical outcome of our worship of “Second Amendment rights.” We abhor the practice of human sacriﬁce. But how many more humans will we sacriﬁce on the altar of the great god of gun rights? There’s no such thing as an individual right to gun ownership in the Constitution. The epidemic of mayhem and death we’re now experiencing and will continue to experience is the inevitable result of the creation of such a right by the Supreme Court. A Supreme Court stacked with activist judges appointed expressly to legislate from the bench in order to achieve the political objectives of the Republican Party. A Supreme Court twisting the plain meaning of the Second Amendment. “A well-regulated militia” – is that phrase so hard to understand? Not really – for more than two centuries it was understood to mean exactly what it said. We’re living in a cloud of delusions. What do we expect if buying a semiautomatic weapon is easier than being licensed to drive? What do we expect if

there are more guns than people in our country? You don’t have to be a gambling genius to figure out the odds. How many lives is it worth to make buying a gun so easy? 10,000? 100? 1? Spare me talk of mental illness. The truth is there will always be people with psychological problems. Devoting more resources to treating psychological problems is a great idea, although our politicians seem in no hurry to actually spend the money to do this. But if we think that will eliminate or even significantly reduce gun violence, we’re living in a dream world. The Buffalo killer openly stated his intention to kill. He then disclaimed that as a “joke.” You don’t have to be Sigmund Freud to figure out that he should not have been allowed to have a gun, much less a semiautomatic weapon. Spare me the talk of “a good guy with a gun.” The fact is that the police, who were well-armed and specifically trained in how to respond to school shooters, failed miserably in the Texas shooting. The armed security guard who tried to stop the Buffalo killer was shot dead when he confronted him. The truth is that a determined and suicidal killer armed with the “best” of today’s easily obtained weapons and the “best” tactical gear can wreak havoc and death no matter how many teachers are forced to double as armed security guards. Or maybe we should be arming 10-yearolds to defend themselves. Spare me talk of making schools “the single hardest target,” heard at the recent NRA convention. What kind of insanity is this? Are we all to go to school, shop, go to the movies as if we’re at war, liable to be attacked at any time, just because some among us can’t put up with the inconvenience of delays, background checks, and licensing and training requirements when they decide to get a gun? Above all, spare me the talk of “evil.” It’s so easy to denounce and condemn the killer after yet another all-too-predictable incident of someone with a gun run amok. The simple fact is that there will always be disturbed or angry individuals among us. But there’s no law of nature that says they need to be armed with easily obtained weapons of mass death. That’s our own decision, as citizens of the only country in the world that has this problem. We have to live, or in some cases die, with the consequences. The fault, as has been said, is not in our stars but in ourselves. David Friedman St. James

Opinion Seeing teachers through the eyes of an appreciative child

nce upon a time, a girl named Fiona read the book “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” She thought it was funny and charming that a child could see what no one else admitted. But then, something strange happened: she thought she could also see things that no one else could. “That’s sweet, Fiona, but focus on your school work and let your imagination run wild at other times,” her father told her that night. D. None Fiona did as she was told because she wanted of the above to please her parents BY DANIEL DUNAIEF and her teachers. It was her teachers that caused problems for her. It started with Mrs. Butler in her third grade class. A tall, thin woman with white hair and glasses, Mrs. Butler always wore high-heeled

shoes. She looked directly in the eyes of every student. One day, her friend Simona fell and hit her head. When Mrs. Butler bent down and checked on her friend, Fiona saw the kind of coat doctors and nurses wear appear around her shoulders. Fiona rubbed her eyes, but the coat was still there. Mrs. Butler calmly told the class to go to their seats, sent Bill to get the nurse and kneeled on the floor near Simona. When the nurse left with Simona, Mrs. Butler’s white coat disappeared. The next day, Jeff couldn’t understand a math problem. He wrote numbers all over the paper, but he didn’t have the answer. Fiona noticed a change again in Mrs. Butler’s clothing. Instead of her powder blue blouse, she had an orange vest and white gloves. With numbers on the smartboard, she directed Jeff away from all the dead ends. When he got closer to the answer, Jeff smiled. Fiona looked back at Mrs. Butler, whose orange vest and white gloves disappeared. Later, Doug and Andrew got into an argument near the stack of books at the back of

the room. When Doug swung his arm to make a point, he knocked over several books. Fiona saw Mrs. Butler’s clothing change again, this time into the kind of black and white stripes that referees wear in football games. She could even see a whistle dangling from her teacher’s neck. The next morning, Jill and Amanda couldn’t agree on how to do a class project. Jill marched to the front of the classroom to complain. Amanda followed closely. While Fiona couldn’t hear everything, she saw a black robe form around Mrs. Butler. When the conversation ended, Mrs. Butler said something that made both girls happy. They shook hands and walked back to their desks, where they returned to work on their project. One day, Fiona arrived early to class. She and her teacher were alone and she felt like she had to say something. “Mrs. Butler?” Fiona asked. “Yes?” Her teacher replied. “I see all the clothing you wear,” Fiona said. “I don’t think anyone else sees it.”

Mrs. Butler narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at her student. “What do you see?” Mrs. Butler asked. She described the medical jacket, the orange vest, the referee’s coat and the judge’s robe. “What do you think of all that?” Mrs. Butler asked. “Is it real?” Fiona asked. “Thank you for seeing,” Mrs. Butler grinned. Other students walked into the room and class started. Just then, Fiona heard an alarm. Mrs. Butler reacted immediately. She held up a shield and directed everyone to the back of the room. While they waited, Mrs. Butler told everyone to remain quiet. The class waited for the all clear. “It was a drill,” Mrs. Butler said. “You can return to your desks.” Fiona was the last to leave the classroom that day. “Fiona?” Mrs. Butler asked. “Is everything okay?” “Yes,” she said. “Thanks for … everything.”

A book that lets us consider what might have been said

“

What if,” is always an intriguing question. This is true for our personal lives, as well as for history. And one way to consider many historic “what ifs” is through a newly published book by Jeffrey Nussbaum, one of President Biden’s speechwriters, called, “Undelivered.” This is a compilation of speeches, never given, by historical figures, whose words Nussbaum tracked down over 20 years. These speeches include, among others, Between the draft of apology you and me that was prepared BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF for General Dwight Eisenhower, had D-Day ended in failure, and Hillary Clinton’s victory speech. Civil rights leader John Lewis’ original speech for the March on Washington, August 28, 1963, in which Martin Luther King Jr.

spoke his iconic “I’ve got a dream” words, is also revealing of the tension among the civil rights leadership. PBS, the television news hour, interviewed Nussbaum this past Monday, and he said that Lewis had originally intended to declare, “We will march through the South, through the heart of Dixie, the way Sherman did. We shall pursue our own scorched-earth policy and burn Jim Crow to the ground — non-violently” but was dissuaded from those words. The sponsors of the March, who feared looking too extreme and harming the chances of passing the civil rights bill, begged him to withdraw that particular rhetoric Lewis, with his back to the wall, most reluctantly changed his words that night, writing and rewriting his draft at the base of the Lincoln Memorial until it was acceptable, but the earlier text is in the book. One of the most fascinating speeches never given was the one awaiting the arrival of President John F. Kennedy on the lectern in Dallas on November 22, 1963. In that text was Kennedy’s warning of the existence of “a rise in the far-right wing camp of voices preaching doctrines wholly unrelated to reality.” He

would have said that “we are the watchmen on the wall of world freedom looking outside and INSIDE. [Capital letters are mine.]” The subtitle of Nussbaum’s book reads, “The never-heard speeches that would have rewritten history,” suggests that had Kennedy’s words been heard, history might indeed have been altered. As it is, people who read it after the assassination just regarded that speech as generally one of foreign policy. These speeches demonstrate how outcomes rest on the razor’s edge of history. Fascinating are “those warnings made in their moment of time,” according to Nussbaum, “that resonate even more clearly today.” Another historic instance mentioned by Nussbaum was of the three speeches written for Al Gore in the 2000 election. Gore was to give none of them that night. One was a victory speech, the second was a concession, and the third was in the event Gore won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote — prescient of the 2016 election. Nussbaum was one of those speechwriters, and that experience inspired him to write the book about other undelivered speeches.

Not all the speeches included in the book are about politicians and policy. There is the one by Barry Jenkins, the director behind the 2017 award-winning movie, “Moonlight.” Some of you may remember the flub that night, in which the wrong picture was initially announced as the winner and the wrong cast mounted the stage at the Academy Awards before the correction was made. In the chaos, Jenkins never got to say what winning that award meant for him. But here, in Nussbaum’s book, he does get to tell what he would have said. “They were filming in Liberty City, Miami,” explained Nussbaum, “and as in many poorer neighborhoods, there wasn’t sufficient lighting. They had to bring in lights, which attracted children to the set. At one point during the filming, [Jenkins] looks over to Video Village, where all the monitors and editing equipment were, and he sees a young man wearing his [Jenkins’] headset who’s just planted himself in [Jenkins’] chair.” “And in that moment, I saw in this child the possibility which I hadn’t believed I could ever see for myself,” Jenkins, who is Black, would have read. How poignant. And missed.
