None of us can speak for the dead.
Yet we purport to all the time. If the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. or President Ronald Reagan were alive, we might say, they’d totally agree with us on X, Y and Z.
No historical figure is left alone. Not Helen Keller, not Cleopatra, not Beethoven. We spin them in their graves for rhetorical convenience.
