It was 1920 when women, some at least in some places, got the right to vote in America. Now, one hundred years later a woman has been elected Vice President of America. O I wish Joanne was here to celebrate this historic moment. Had she been around for this election she'd have been phone banking steadily as she did 4 years ago for Hillary. If one studies Jesus' relationship with women, against the norms of his day, a strong argument can be made that Jesus was a feminist. Joanne was a pace setter who didn't get angry but just kept being effective.
Unfortunately Kamala Harris will be the subject of vicious attacks both because she's a woman and also because she's Black/Indian. As Isabel Wilkerson so eloquently writes in Caste, the success of members of the subordinate caste threaten insecure members of the dominant caste. In their fear they will attack, demean, obstruct and attempt to neutralize Harris for "rising above her station."
Let's celebrate this historic moment and wish Harris well as she assumes her new role!

A sign has been erected on the Volga Road pointing to the cemetery where Grandpa Bergh's church stood and where he and others of his family are buried. The trees in the background are on the homesite where Grandpa lived.
