EMILY BINGHAM writes that COVID-19 has brought her family of five back under her roof in Kentucky for the first time since her first child left for boarding school, 10 years ago. She shares that it was scary, yet heavenly, and involved an immense amount of cooking and cleaning. Emily recounts the grief and horror Louisville felt for the killing of Breonna Taylor this past spring. “We protested and listened and tried to see through old systems and assumptions that paved the way for this tragedy and many like it. A book I had been working on for several years about the 1853 Stephen Foster hit, ‘My Old Kentucky Home,’ was suddenly even more swamped with irony.” Learn more in Emily’s book: My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song.
