BR, it'd be great to have met your granddad. He sounds like our Grinny (grandmother who smiled a lot!). She marched on Washington with Rev Dr King, and always said that she shared his dream. Still, we got her to stop driving in the nick of time.

TPJ...What an inspiration! An activist 'Grinny'! Truly wonderful to have a person like that in your life. Wish I had known her. She must have been fascinating to talk with.
Grinny was committed but genteel. Her daughter & my mom? Now there was a FEROCIOUS liberal Democrat!
Living in 1930s-40s NYC, Grinny attended numerous parties with scruffy, impassioned leftist fellow-travelers. She wasn't interested in ideology, and speculated that they came partly for free food & drinks. A bit of a snob, she also thought that they should bathe more often.
