I just saw the Battleship Potemkin w/ experimental jazz trio accompanying it at this 1892 historic labor site in Homestead.
It was so powerful and roaring in a rustic site like that where 7 striking steelworkers were killed.

As a reporter, I find her courage inspiring and on Rosh Hashanah, I found myself praying for her during the Yizkor Memorial prayer to those we lost in the past year. May her memory always be a blessing to reporters everywhere.

On Rosh Hashanah at synagogue yesterday, I found myself praying for Mariam Abu Dagga, a 33 year old AP reporter killed in August while working in Gaza. Dagga, a mother of a 12 year old boy, has evacuated her son to the UAE, but Dagga stayed behind in Gaza doing her job as a reporter for AP.
