Do we ever pause to consider which habits and traditions we carry forward into the future? Which customs are important enough for you to pass on to the next generation, and which ones do you let go of? At Homeland, we take the time to contemplate these questions. How wonderful would it be to raise awareness in our children and make their homeland tangible? To make it moldable for the future. We believe in cherishing the traditions that hold meaning and value, while embracing the evolution that time brings. By instilling a sense of heritage and fostering a deep connection to their roots, we empower our children to shape their own future while honoring the past. Let us embark on this journey together, as we create a legacy that transcends generations. Together, we can build a homeland that is not only preserved, but also transformed into a beacon of progress and unity. May our children inherit a world where their cultural heritage thrives, and where they are inspired to carry it forward with pride and purpose. In the coming months, we will be sharing more about our project Homeland and how children can be a part of this journey. www.stonesstories.com

Some interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patrick’s Origin: Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. He was captured into slavery and taken to Ireland, where he later returned as a Christian missionary. No Snakes in Ireland: The story of St. Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland is a myth. In reality, Ireland has never had any native snake species to begin with. Leprechauns and Fairies: The leprechaun, often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, is derived from Celtic folklore. These ‘small-bodied fellows’ were believed to be fairies and were known for their shoemaking skills. “The Luck of the Irish” is a phrase that originally emerged in America during the gold and silver rush eras, when Irish miners were often successful in their endeavors. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not an old Irish saying but an American one, and it was initially used in a somewhat derogatory way to attribute the Irish miners’ successes to luck rather than their hard work. Over time, the phrase has taken on a more positive connotation, celebrating the Irish for their perceived good fortune and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. Today, it’s commonly used to express good luck and is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Little Tokyo in LA is on the 2024 America's 11 Most Endangered Places 2024 (National Trust for Historic Preservation). I stumbled upon this area accidentally when I worked in downtown LA in the early 2000s and it became a quick favorite for its great food, shops, and history (of course). It's one of Los Angeles's second-oldest ethnic communities. Established in 1885 by Japanese seaman Hamanosuke Shigeta, it burgeoned into a thriving community by 1900, serving as a significant urban enclave for Japanese Americans. However, World War II brought upheaval as Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated, leaving behind a void filled by black residents from the Deep South who migrated north to fill a labor shortage in the war defense industry. In this little period, Little Tokyo evolved into Bronzeville, a vibrant cultural center for black businesses and art. The neighborhood buzzed with activity, as the wartime shifts ran 24 hours a day, and renowned performers like Count Basie, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, and Charlie Parker graced the stages of Bronzeville's black-owned breakfast clubs. This scene evaporated as the Japanese returned to the area and wartime work dried up. Concerns like gentrification and displacement play a big part in Little Tokyo's story now. (sources: Charlotta Bass Journalism & Justice Lab USC & Advisory Council on National Preservation). You can read the full list of Endangered places below, and also learn how to support these diverse historic places so their stories can endure.
Introducing the 2024 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places! This year’s list exemplifies the National Trust’s continued commitment to telling the full American story, with a diverse array of sites both inside and outside the continental United States. One theme connecting the list is the power of communities to come together to combat erasure and protect the cultural landmarks, treasured local businesses, restaurants, customs, and traditions that help tell the layered stories of those who’ve called a place home. This year’s list challenges us to broaden our perspectives about American history, what it means to save places, and what our goals for preservation should be. The 2024 Sites, in alphabetical order, are: - Cindy Walker House in Mexia, Texas - Eatonville, Florida - Estate Whim Museum, Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands - Hudson-Athens Lighthouse, Athens, New York - Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, California - Minute Man National Historical Park, Walden, and Nearby Landmarks, Massachusetts - New Salem Baptist Church, Tams, West Virginia - Roosevelt High School, Gary, Indiana - Sitka Tlingit Clan Houses, Sitka, Alaska - Tangier American Legation, Tangier, Morocco - Wilderness Battlefield Area, Orange County, Virginia Read more about these significant sites and learn how you can support them: https://ow.ly/eolK50RntFa And join us for the next 11 days as we highlight one site each day!
