Mother's Day

Mother's Day is an opportunity to thank your Mom for being, well, your Mom.

Check out GALILEO and the Baldy cartoons. Mr. Baldowski doesn't specifically address Mother's Day but he does use mothers in his cartoons!

Baldowski, known by the pen-name "Baldy," depicted the local, national, and international news of his day in the editorial pages of the Augusta Chronicle, Miami Herald, and Atlanta Constitution. His work is a rich source for those studying political reorganization in Georgia and the growth of Atlanta as well as the Civil Rights Movement, the Cold War, the Vietnam conflict, Middle East tensions, and Watergate.
