Did I mention it’s NATIONWIDE?! I just looked up our vacation destination and there are hundreds of food/activity discounts available. So think of the card as a “Vacation Meal Savings Plan”. I know you’re going to take the family to eat a few times. app.launchraise.com/Fundrais…

#OnThisDay in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. It wasn't until September 1957 that 9 teens would become symbols of all that was in store for our nation in the years to come. More: s.si.edu/38tzEUz
A black and white image of Nettie Hunt and her daughter Nickie sitting on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. Hunt is smiling down at her young daughter. The older Hunt is holding a newspaper in her proper right hand with the headline that reads, "HIGH COURT BANS SEGREGATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS" in large, black text. Hunt's proper left hand is wrapped around her daughter who is looking up at her.

Love having my dad come speak to my kids. He talks about growing up on a farm, all the technology changes he has seen, and he tells stories. We pass around a ton of old items the kids can look at and touch. It’s so much fun! @BoGranddaddy
