Thank you for the excellent job on this investigative reporting and unearthing real history. I really like the fun parts! The lever has worked hard to excel where as other progressive outlets have been doing the same thing for 20 plus years and are either just lazy or unimaginative. I've been trying to spread the word and entice others to check out The Lever, but most are happy to stay ignorant. It would be wonderful if your articles would have audio description for some of us old people who find it difficult to read longer articles. Keep up the great work.
