John Rosenberg survived Nazi Germany as a child and spent the next eight decades fighting for people the law forgot. He challenged voter suppression in Mississippi courthouses during the worst years of Jim Crow. He moved his young family to the Appalachian coalfields and opened a legal-aid office where the powerful had written the rules for generations — and started rewriting them. Written and Performed by Jeff Sherr, Stumbling Stones :The John Rosenberg Story Webmoves through time — from pre-war Germany to the organizing circles of Fannie Lou Hamer to a Kentucky hollow where land rights and dignity were the same fight. While John argued cases, Jean Rosenberg saw what was missing and built it: childbirth education and direct support for single mothers in a region where neither existed. Together, they didn't just serve the community — they helped forge it. John Rosenberg is 95 years old and still doing the work. At a moment when voting rights are again contested and the question of who deserves protection under the law is being re-litigated in real time, his story is not history — it is instruction. STUMBLING STONES is a story of hope. Not the easy kind, but the kind built stone by stone by ordinary people who decide the world can be repaired — and then get to work.
