A Mighty Voice Stilled

William Norman Grigg died this afternoon. He was a journalist, broadcaster, editor, musician, father, husband, and a self-described Christian Individualist. He was also my hero. [More]

I regret that my own work too often got in the way of reading him and sharing his links more. As I noted a few years back:

I'm in awe of giants like William N Grigg, and select other liberty writers, and deem their voices to be essential ones to heed. Yet outside of the liberty movement, they remain relatively obscure.

And relatively broke. There's a fundraising page to help his family. Don't let the goal being met dissuade you -- that was established before the breadwinner was lost forever. And please believe me when I tell you they sacrifice much in terms of material rewards -- and sometimes even basics -- by supporting what can only be described as a calling.

History is indeed written by the victors. Please join me in renewing a commitment to ensuring names like Grigg (and Vanderboegh, who was also an admirer) are not forgotten.
