My Slovak great-grandparents barely spoke English. They lived in Fairchance. My Italian great-grandparents in Pittsburgh didn’t teach their kids Italian because they wanted them to be perceived as “real Americans.” The region is still full of pierogi shops, Italian delis and restaurants, etc

Kelly Ayotte and House Republicans funneled millions to private schools and out-of-state corporations — now they want to QUADRUPLE your property taxes to solve their budget crisis. That’s not a #FairChance. #NHPolitics

My grandfather spoke Slovak because his parents were immigrants. Fairchance, PA. He wound up staying on with the Army for some months after the end of WWII to do some translating for the intelligence people in then-Czechoslovakia

i've known about the streetcars most of my life (my grandma used to talk about "taking the streetcar to fairchance" which sounded insane to me) and i just decided to start doing some more research, not knowing what i'd find, but of course the train freaks come through.

Ron Lancaster was born on Oct. 14, 1938 in Fairchance, Pennsylvania. In high school, he was excelled as a quarterback. Despite his skill, he was passed over by scouts. After high school, he went to Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio.

🧵 2/10
The black-and-white photo captures Ron Lancaster, a quarterback in a white helmet with black stripes and a matching striped jersey numbered 23, in a dynamic throwing pose on the football field. He grips a football with his right hand drawn back, his left arm extended forward for balance, and a confident smile on his face. The image focuses closely on his upper body, with subtle field details in the blurred background.

True equality means giving people the chance, not just the choice.
Opportunity without privilege. Effort without fear.
That’s where real change begins. 🌍
