Aunt Dora, a great aunt, indeed. Photography by Charles W. Thomas Jr.

Since her life inspired Giving Back…and her hands grace the book’s cover…and Feb 2 is her 92nd birthday, today (the 2nd day of Black History Month) we’re honoring Dora Atlas.

My great-aunt Dora is founder of Our Daily Bread of Asheboro, NC. Her story, “Rich Aunt,” opens Giving Back, and you can read it here.

Happy Birthday Aunt Dora!
