@joycewhitevance.bsky.social hi Joyce - I so enjoy your newsletter, interviews and perspective on Cafe (I’m an insider). One thing I hear you say is “founding fathers”. May I suggest just “founders”? Historians use the latter as more is learned about how women and people of color shaped the country.
