Tags: History
Who helped make the better world we live in? In my Thanksgiving piece 10 1918 people I'm thankful for, part of My Life 100 Years Ago 1918, I thank 10 figures from Jane Addams and W.E.B. Du Bois to William Carlos Williams, Harvey Wiley and Anna Kelton Wiley. I reflect on war, influenza, racism and suffrage.
