she’s only 62

Right? Only? When I read this book in the first grade it felt like she was ancient. But damn less than 60 years ago schools were still segregated

I double checked her age in case this was an old post still floating around tumblr, but it is correct. She turned 62 yesterday (9/8/16). Excuse me while I go try to wrap my mind around this now…
