The thanks in Thanksgiving, revisited.

This is the only blog post reposted on this site for seven years now.

In 1978, Charles Kuralt visited Alex and Mary Chandler in rural Mississippi. Sharecroppers who lived in a cabin, the Chandlers raised nine children who had nearly nothing to their name except the ability to pick cotton.

And, yet, all nine children graduated college.

Here is the five minute video that explains their story, and how they truly embody the thanks that should be in Thanksgiving.





The happiest of Thanksgivings to you and yours.
