People like your father are inspirations to me. I have loved learning about some of the activists from the 50s and 60s that were pushing to uplift their communities. The push for community building, unionization, and uplifting the working class that was present in the US during the late 1800s and early/mid-1900s ran deep -- but has largely been ignored as a part of US history. Speeches by Fred Hampton and other leaders during the 50s/60s still bring me hope of what our cities can become.
