Unlike most of his classmates' parents, Sanders' father was not American-born. "There were arguments and more arguments between our parents," Sanders wrote in "Our Revolution," published after the 2016 election. Sanders' mother, raised in a Bronx family of seven children, had long aspired to more, relatives say. Back in Brooklyn, Sanders and his older brother, Larry, slept on a trundle bed in the living room. During reciprocal visits, Glassberg recalls, Sanders' mother pushed her sons to work hard in school so they could do better.
