BRUSSELS, Belgium – This morning I woke up in Belgium, thinking of cannibalism and cicadas.
Let me explain.
Earlier this year, I was given a big-hearted gift: a three-week, five-city tour of Europe, sponsored by the Marshall Memorial Fellowship.
Hoping to foster trans-Atlantic relationships, the fellowship selects several dozen Americans each year to travel through Europe and meet inspiring leaders, rabble-rousers and policymakers.
Chattanooga, thanks to the graceful leadership of Eleanor Cooper, is a nominating and host city. Twice a year, several Europeans spend four days in the Scenic City while we send two Chattanoogans – like last year’s Fellows Stephen Culp and Chantelle Roberson – across the pond.
