Among Perkins' comments:
"Immigration matters have to be decided in a few days. They involve human lives. There can be no delaying."
"If I were a Jewess I would make no secret of it. On the contrary, I would be proud to acknowledge it."
Perkins, 1936; antisemitic conspiracy pamphlet; pamphlet cap

Reminder that Sec of Labor Frances Perkins was also head of immigration, faced impeachment threat simply for allowing due process to be followed, was criticized by Fr Coughlin on the radio (her & her hat), and was the center of a bizarre birther conspiracy.

Ah, here's one still from the footage:
Here you go. From the time measles + pneumonia + congregate setting.
Most measles immun. info starts in 50s but Ruth Tunnicliff developed a measles serum around the time of photo; not a large study, but effective; a pediatrician built on her work ~10 yrs later.

"Yes, thank God, I am satisfied with my color..."
-Preacher Amanda Berry Smith, late 1800s
In her autobiography, she did not shy away from describing her experiences in majority-black spaces as a woman & majority-white spaces as a woman of color.

Yes.
And capturing open-access digitized archival content may be especially valuable right now-
not only bc content keywords are being scrubbed from some sites but bc I don't want machine learning tools interpreting archival content for me, which seems likely to be attempted.
Love this photo.

Pastor Dr. Mabel Ping-Hua Lee.
Yes yes *not* Episcopalian, but I don't get many chances to bring up Dr. Lee and her Chinatown church. Pell St, I think? (I think she may be the only woman pastor I've found so far to have a post office dedicated to her.)

This isn't a fancy photo but on a rough morning, a glimmer caught my eye and I leaned in closer.
Just let the light catch the edge of your attention. Let yourself notice. Lean close.
It'll carry you.
