The United States has not proved the most fertile ground for this sort of person, but now and then contenders arise, and Martha Nussbaum is surely one of the more formidable candidates of our time, discharging the responsibilities of that role with a dizzying industriousness. As Griggs imagines it, the new, post-Civil War United States indeed will be something quite different: a nation that will valorize the intelligence, industriousness, and articulateness of its citizens, white and black, instead of focusing on skin color and corporeal differences.
