Sadie, Ori and Grandma all love the soft blue 'Together Blanket' that Grandma knit when Sadie was born. They use it for building forts, for snuggling and fun. As Sadie and Ori grow up and as Grandma gets older, too, the blanket continues to bring the family comfort in very special ways. The years are counted through the evolution of the family's Passover seder, which starts out at grandma's house with her doing all the cooking, and eventually moving to her children's house in acknowledgement of grandma's growing frailty.

Unstoppable: How Bayard Rustin Organized the 1963 March on Washington

By Michael G. Long

Bayard Rustin was a "troublemaker." He spent his life disrupting racism and prejudice with nonviolent direct action. He organized protests against war, nuclear weapons, racial segregation and discrimination. He was a friend and mentor to Martin Luther King Jr., and he was unapologetically gay and Black. When Bayard and his mentor, A. Philip Randolph, set out to organize the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Bayard was targeted by those who wished to see the movement fail. But Bayard Rustin would not be stopped. With the support of Dr. King and future congressman John Lewis, Bayard organized the largest protest in civil rights history.
