Towards the end of his life, Warren Magnusson implored us to imagine radical democratic engagement "premised on the 'open city' rather than the closed nation".

Would that we'd heed that profoundly wise insight.

"The invention of the city as a place of experimental gatherings—despite impediments and without guarantees of progress—amplifies the South’s enduring contribution to urban knowledge and life.

Yet the possibility remains for residents to turn to each other, rather than on each other, for new ideas and solidarities."
