Julie Ethan, a former Eagan resident, is the the author of “How Can Half the Country Be So Stupid,” a memoir on politics and her friendship with Benjamin Gross, a well-known liberal activist in Dakota County. Ethan, a caucasian, and formerly a conservative evangelical Republican, and Gross, an black American whose political career dates back decades, found common ground as they forged a decades-long friendship. They shared some of that history in their first visit to Access to Democracy, and reinforced the enduring bond between them.
