Thanksgiving In Prairie Mississippi
Today the U.S. is celebrating Thanksgiving and I thought this video was a perfect one to share for this occasion. It’s an inspiring story that I’m sure everyone, anywhere in the world, can appreciate and be inspired by.
Each of the nine children in this family worked hard to help themselves and each other, and in doing so–the entire family accomplished great things. The story is a reminder of what determination and loving sacrifice can achieve.
Charles Kuralt tells the story of the homecoming of 9 children of Alex and Mary Chandler for parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and Thanksgiving in 1978. The family remembers the old sharecropper’s cabin and lifestyle. From humble beginnings, now all 9 children are college grads.
Charles Kuralt’s words at the end:
In the future, whenever I hear that the family is a dying institution, I’ll think of them.
Enjoy your day!
