“I think a big part of it is to make Brownsville a place that you don’t have to leave to have that same life. There’s too many people for whom - stability, space, raising a family, you can only do it outside of New York City…”

Reposting with Alt text:
A letter from Charles Schulz that reads, Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen then it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz
