COMMUNITY VOICES — TERRY HELD: The word radical has become a strange word in modern America. Turn on the television or scroll through social media, and it is usually used as an accusation. A radical is someone unreasonable. Someone extreme. Someone bent on tearing things down. But historically, the word meant something quite different. The word radical comes from the Latin radix, meaning root. To be radical is to return to the roots. It means holding fast to the principles that gave something life in the first place. If that is the case, then perhaps Cassville is one of the most radical towns in America. https://www.cassville-democrat.com/2026/03/11/the-radical-spirit-of-cassville/
