Manage episode 413596443 series 1924283
2024 KYW GameChanger Hillary Do created the non-profit BOLT (Build Our Lives Together) to support community grassroots organizations with tools, grants and knowledge to bring about change. She introduces us to Cleopatra Robinson of A Home from Shana Foundation, who is working to lower the rate of Black maternal mortality in Philadelphia, and Ron Toles of Ordinarie Heroes, who works with BIPOC youth in Hunting Park.
Then, the hidden history behind the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Central Branch, which includes Charles Dickens’ stuffed pet bird, Grip - widely thought to have inspired Edgar Allen Poe’s poem, “The Raven.” The library also has the only handwritten copy of the poem, which is part of its rare book collection.
