HUGE NEWS! Haven’t said a ton about this because often times the best organizing happens outside of public view. Today I joined a group of Penn State faculty and SEIU representatives to present faculty signatures that will trigger a vote to unionize PSU faculty!

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.
