I made a blog for my mom

I love this! Are you talking about the co-op preschool that was at SRJC? That was integrated and my parents were involved in starting it. All of us kids went there including my brother and my sister, Duck on Wheels of this forum.

Irulan, did we go to pre-school with you?

My Mom was in the first class to graduate Sonoma State University. I remember her going to classes when they held them in hotel rooms, no university yet and barely any buildings. She and my Dad were very active in the Peace and civil rights movements in Northern California. They were honored by the ACLU before Dad passed. Mom at 92 still attends a peace vigil every week and is an activist.

I just sent her the link. I recognize some of the names and I'm sure she knows a lot of your mom's friends. Willing to bet your mom knows or knew of my parents.

Oh, no, - not in CA. This would have been an integrated preschool in Chicago, in the 50's. Hyde Park -Kenwood, near the U of C, was one of the first "integrated neighborhoods' in the nation, according to what I know, where middle class black and white families lived side by side.

I asked my mom just how many pieces she has. "copius amounts' was the answer. I think I have it down to a system. All I"m doing is pasting things in, formatting them, proofing for typos and scheduling them to go out. I have at least 8 things in the pipe already. I don't think it's going to be too much work. I'm moderating comments, which only takes a sec.
