All Praise to the Lunch Ladies — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER
Blessed are the women who watch over America’s children.
My great-grandmother was a lunch lady in rural Georgia and was just as tough, resourceful, and caring as all of these wonderful ladies. Thank you for lifting them up, @bittersouth.bsky.social! 🥹 bittersoutherner.com/issue-no-12/...
