Always Toward the Sun

How do we hope? Amid a seemingly endless cycle of strife and stress, optimism can feel unattainable. But it feels more imperative than ever that we reach for it. There's a beloved old line that inspired our title, and our exploration: "Keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you." With these stories, we seek a way forward to calm, connection, compassion and change.

By illuminating both the past and the present, our discoveries and scholarship are paving the way toward a better future.
