Good Thoughts and Bad News
Jan. 25th, 2019 02:31 pm Bad news: My sister's in the hospital. I won't get into details now, but needless to say I am stressed.
Good news: Because I needed a distraction, I called my sister in DC and asked her to distract me. While I was talking to her I realised that while we've gone through as much information as we can from the larger English on the strike, nobody on my team even mentioned the possibility of local papers in other languages reporting on it. This despite the fact that Simmons claimed 40% of the strikers were Jewish and the face of the strike was Italian!
So now I'm off to figure out if we can find any papers in other languages that have been saved and, ideally, digitized, and if so, figure out translators for Yiddish, Italian, and possibly some form of Chinese.
