Tessy Stein Oxman passed away at the age of 97 on Thursday night, June 30, 2021, with her girls by her side.
Born Tressa Mae Stein in Hibbing, Minn., on April 25, 1924, she was fondly known to all as Tessy. The daughter of Louis and Gertrude Stein, she grew up with her beloved siblings Etheldoris, Alan and Leone. The Stein family had a busy and thriving life in Hibbing, running the family business known as Stein Rexall Drug. She took great pride in overseeing the gift department of the store, displaying the latest in home goods, tableware, and cookware. This was perfectly suited to her as it was an extension of her love of cooking and entertaining.

August 28th, 1963 promised to be a warm summer morning in Washington D.C. As the sun began to peek over the horizon, it was quiet on the National Mall. Too quiet for organizers of the historic March On Washington. Nobody knew exactly how many people would come, recalls Norman Hill, a young activist and labor leader at the time.
Organizer and transportation director Rachelle Horowitz estimated 90,000 people would be there based on the number of buses that had been chartered.
By the end of the day, an estimated 250,000 people from across the country had marched on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr delivered his iconic I Have a Dream speech.
