There are moments that the words don't reach. There is suffering too terrible to name. Since the murders of Rep. Melissa Hortman, Mark Hortman, and their dog Gilbert, we have been asking ourselves, "What can we do?" knowing that nothing would be enough.

Even during a time of terrible loss and grieving, Melissa and Mark's children are carrying on their parents' legacy of leading people with kindness; they have told us what to do.

Please keep the Hortman family, Hoffman family, and all of Minnesota in your thoughts. And if that doesn't feel like enough, then pet a dog, plant a tree, or bake a cake.

If you heard last week's Memorial Day ep, you heard Emily talk about how removed posts about women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ folks on Trump's orders. This includes removing a post about Maj. Megan McClung, who was killed in action while serving in Iraq.
While this administration's erasure of our nation's diversity isn't surprising, it's shocking that the staff behind Arlington National Cemetery, a place meant to honor and remember ALL who served and Maj. McClung's final resting place, would participate in her erasure and that of other veterans.
Emily had the opportunity to pay her respects at Maj. McClung's grave and put her name up with others to be remembered at the .
We cannot allow our own history to be erased and rewritten before our eyes. It is our duty and responsibility as Americans to learn and preserve our history so that we can create a better present and future for ALL. PATRIOTS NEED TO GET LOUD. We will BE LOUD. We will BE BOLD. But we will NOT BE BRIEF!

While looking for Ida B. Wells' grave, Emily took a side trip to the Till House.
Located in Chicago's Southside, this is the house that Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley shared before Emmett was brutally murdered by white supremecists in Mississippi. (Kelley covers Mamie in ep 136.)
In the wake of her son's murder, Mamie became an activist. She had a public, open casket funeral for Emmett so the nation could see how her 14yo son had been brutalized.
The house is currently being restored by to serve as a museum and community space. We encourage you to donate to support their mission!
Walking through the neighborhood and imagining Emmett riding his bike or playing with neighborhood kids was emotional. I imagine he was excited for his trip to Mississippi. Emmett Till was a child who left home to visit relatives on summer vacation and never came home. Mamie was forced not only to confront her son's senseless death, but the despicable violence inflicted upon him. In the face of this unimaginable tragedy, she showed bravery. I hope to go back when the museum is opened.

in 1924, Gerda Weissmann Klein was born. Gerda was the only member of her family to survive the Holocaust. In 1942, Gerda was sent to a labor camp where she witnessed the Nazi's atrocities first hand. Her childhood best friend died in her arms on a 350 mile death march. When she was finally liberated in 1945, Gerda weighed only 68 pounds. Gerda published a memoir of her experiences 'All But My Life' in 1957 and spent the rest of her life telling not only her story, but the stories of others who were murdered. Hear her whole story in episode 177!
