February 1, 2023: Today is the first day of Black History Month, and I’m so grateful that we live in the modern world. It’s not perfect by any means, and there’s still a lot of progress to be made. But go back to any other point in history, and everyone everywhere was much worse off. Culturally, and politically, everyone was worse off. Modern sanitation, abundance of food and it’s availability, medical science, and job safety are just a few of the examples of why it is better to live today than at any other time in history. Let’s not lose our momentum, but let’s also be grateful for how far we’ve come even in just the last few hundred years. | Today’s character is one of the “street level” Avengers, meaning that instead of being in the big movies she has a TV show. However, she was also one of the forerunners to all of the Marvel TV shows we have today. | On this day we recognize someone who started as an ice cream vendor, and rose to one of the more prominent Imagineers in the entire Disney organization. It really is a testament to persistence and consistency in excellence. | Yoday, Walt gets deep about innocence.
