Today: Recalling local talk last week by granddaughter of Dorothy Day, author of a family memoir about her mother’s relationship with her grandmother, the same grandmother being considered for canonization, and same one regarded by Pope Francis alongside Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Thomas Merton as one of our great Americans. But also irony of same grandmother being imprisoned with the Silent Sentinels, aka Iron Jawed Angels, yet not being a voter herself…this grandmother who considered politics “short-term thinking.”
In contrast, her descendants, granddaughter counters, all vote.
Hence: Considering DVD purchase of film starring Hilary Swank about the Silent Sentinels 101 years ago, available through company principled in long-term thinking, which — a murmur in this week’s clamor — announced a $15 minimum wage increase, and wondering effects of this change 101 years hence.
