My grandmother, born in 1929 on a small rural farm in Arkansas, traveled to Detroit with four toddlers, each one a year apart, via train to meet her husband who had locked in a job in the automotive industry. She eventually was subjected to domestic abuse and did one of bravest acts a Black woman in the 1950s with six children could do: she left. As a first-generation college student, listening at my grandmother’s feet as she recounted lessons she learned throughout her life gave me the sense I could pretty much do anything. [...]
