Marian Wright Edelman’s granddaughters Ellika and Zoe spoke of attending her Freedom School on summer break and seeing firsthand the impact of a career in public service. Hillary Clinton shared her admiration of the woman whose work gives so many children the chance to achieve.

This one is hitting hard. Cecilia Marshall’s passing marks the end of an era. We’ve lost so many from origins of the Civil Rights Movement. They were a special breed. Doggedly determined to will into existence a world that defied every structure surrounding them. #CeciliaMarshall

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends. —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) From our family to yours - #HappyThanksgiving2022
