CARL SAGAN

INSPIRATION

Having performed the classic Torn & Restored newspaper for over 30 years with a loose script that embodied the pathos of Carl Sagan without the actual words, it is so gratifying to do so now & truly hope that you feel moved by the performance below to share it with all you know on social media. Carl Sagans essay The Pale Blue Dot has touched countless millions of people yet we all continue to carry on as we do. As been said by other than me 'be the change you want to see'. 

Even if it just one small step!

CARL SAGAN

Carl Edward Sagan was born on November 9, 1934, in the Bensonhurst neighbourhood of New York City's Brooklyn borough. His mother, Rachel Molly Gruber (1906–1982), was a housewife from New York City; his father, Samuel Sagan (1905–1979), was a Ukrainian-born garment worker who had emigrated from Kamianets-Podilskyi (then in the Russian Empire). Sagan was named in honour of his maternal grandmother, Chaiya Clara, who had died while giving birth to her second child; she was, in Sagan's words, "the mother she [Rachel] never knew." Sagan's maternal grandfather later married a woman named Rose, who Sagan's sister, Carol, would later say, was "never accepted" as Rachel's mother because Rachel "knew she [Rose] wasn't her birth mother." Sagan's family lived in a modest apartment in Bensonhurst. He later described his family as Reform Jews, one of the more liberal of Judaism's four main branches. He and his sister agreed that their father was not especially religious, but that their mother "definitely believed in God, and was active in the temple and served only kosher meat." During the worst years of the depression, his father worked as a movie theater usher.
