Listening now, it’s clear the challenge is still ours. Information moves faster than reflection. Outrage moves faster than understanding. Harvey’s lesson — that history is something we participate in, not just watch — remains unfinished.
His voice may be quiet now, but the questions he asked are louder than ever: How are we using our attention? Our influence? Are we learning, connecting, deciding — or just scrolling through life?
Paul Harvey’s broadcasts didn’t just report the world. They reminded us: the world isn’t happening to us — it’s shaped by us.
If this story resonates, share it and honor the power of awareness, decency, and action in our daily lives.
