Grace Lee Boggs, 1915-2015

[marylander1940]

 

For most of her remarkable one hundred years, Grace Lee Boggs saw herself as a revolutionary, and her adopted home town of Detroit as the Midwestern front of that revolution. Despite the frustrations of living in a counterrevolutionary time, and in a city that suffered a lot of setbacks and precious few victories, she never lost her optimism about the possibility of change, even as she began to drop the “r” from revolution.

Ty, Marylander, what a beautiful read. Particularly poignant: "[in]Living for Change,” Grace wrote that “reality is constantly changing and we must be wary of becoming stuck in ideas that have come out of past experiences and have lost their usefulness in the struggle to create the future.” And in Moyer's vid, "we are the leaders we've been looking for," and with evolution &. change, start local ! Words and wisdom to live by!
