Mention of the Day (MOTD)
Oct 26, 2021

A close-up photo of a hand holding up Anne Sebba's biography (paperback edition), "Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy" against the backdrop of a window, beige curtains & a white windowsill. Out the window, greenery & gray skies are visible. The cover of the book depicts a black & white photo of Ethel stepping out of a car, with three men in suits around her, looking towards her from outside the car.

It’s a rainy, fall day. Perfect reading weather. 🍂 Returning to this brilliantly written biography by Anne Sebba, "Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy."

In one passage, Sebba relates the story of Hilda Bernstein, a Jewish, political activist and Communist party member living in South Africa, to Ethel's story.

Also a mother, and also arrested, Hilda shares a reflection on the tensions involved in being an activist parent, "In the long run the most important thing as far as the children are concerned is what sort of country they will have to live in.'"

Thinking of mothers like Ethel and Hilda, and all activist parents and their families, fighting for a better future for us all.

"RFC is exactly what we need to do in other realms of our organizing- building long term infrastructure that makes it EASIER for ordinary people to be in the movement, to have relationships while they are in the movement, to have a fulfilling life while they are in the movement, and so on..."
