Stitching a Country Together

from Morning Cuppa Joy · host Robyn DeLong

Send us Fan MailIn this week’s Cuppa Joy, I reflect on the legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson at the close of Black History Month. Not through campaigns or controversy, but through a story he often told about his grandmother—a woman who couldn’t afford a blanket and stitched scraps into a quilt to keep her family warm. What might it mean to “stitch a country together” in our own time? This episode explores our shared desire to hold onto a dream, to stitch together differences, and to choose warmth over separation.If something in today’s Cuppa stirred a thought or a memory, sparked a question, or simply made you want to reach out, I’d love to hear from you.
