R.I.P. Captain Sir Tom Moore

86D5086A-94E0-4FC7-AE09-3B4E6495A523

I shared the story of Captain Sir Tom Moore last spring and reblogged Beetley Pete’s post at https://beetleypete.com/2020/05/20/sir-tom-moore-knight-of-the-realm

Sadly, this hero who inspired not only the UK, but the world, passed away today from coronavirus.

 My father would show me how to bang the nails into the wood. And if you hit your thumb, that was your own fault and you learned not to do it again. And when I finished with those, my father would bring me a bigger piece of wood and a bigger hammer. All my life I’ve learned to get on with it. And if you hit your thumb or your finger, don’t blame anyone else. You did it yourself.

Black History Month, Franklin Thomas

541BC22F-59B1-434C-A6B1-A2E5243B0F98

One day, our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings.

~ Franklin Thomas, activist, philanthropist, and former president of the Ford Foundation ~
