I can only say “Amen” to what you’ve written. It is a passing of generations but it is up to us to keep what they fought for (and what is already achieved and what needs to still be achieved) alive; and to continue moving forward, no matter how hard it sometimes seem to fight the tide of people wanting to turn the clocks back to a time “before”. Keep on fighting, keep on righting, and keep up singing your “Kaddish”. Thank you for today’s piece.
Thank you for sharing your connections with Ms. Bland and Rev. Jackson, continuing to impact their teachings, and reminding us of the blessings we have to carry with us as we march forward together.
So sad to hear than Jo Ann is no longer with us, I learned so much from her and will forever changed because of meeting her. May her memory always be a blessing.

לא עלינו המלאכה לגמור
ולא אנו בני חורין ליבטל ממנה

You were blessed by meeting and knowing them. We are blessed by meeting and knowing you. 🥰
Beautiful post! Continuing our Jewish tradition to honor our past sages!
