In honor of my mother and my daughter and all mothers and children everywhere, on this day every year I read the original Mother’s Day proclamation. May the day reclaim its original intent. plough.com/en/topics/culture…

This is so important. People should know that the idea came out of the Civil War, and was about making peace in the name of motherhood. Julia Ward Howe as America's first hippie? Possibly...

I read this and can’t help but think where were Black Women in 1870? #ADOS
