In January 1924, in the middle of a snowstorm, in the middle of the night, four people, two sets of strangers, came together. Two were White; two were Black. Two were female; two were male. Two were steeped in religion; two were centered in astronomy. All were wishing for better relations between the races. What brought these strangers together? Was it a moon phase or a planetary shift or something deeper and farther away?
