In this episode, I shared the germ of a new idea for Migration Stories, a new series to parallel both Stories250 and One-Place Studies. Stories place, tinged with resilience, right? Have ideas? Share!
Oh, Marian, thank you so much for the reference and what a fantastic story. It’s a reminder of the power of a hand-written note in this day and age of computing and AI.
Cats make great supervisors. Being in Kansas, what came to mind was the Exodusters where African Americans migrated from states along the Mississippi River to Kansas known as Exoduster Movement or Exodus of 1879.
Books are so important! That’s how I’m learning about my grandmother. 💕 I love you ladies! Thank you Jennifer and Barbara!!! I’m going to look into my grandma as she was and arranged ‘picture bride’ from the early 1900’s from Japan. Also, housing is also an interesting area of migration and settlement. You could do something similar to the regional history books like Arcadia Publishing.
Oh, from hints you’ve dropped earlier, I knew you had a good story in there. すごい. Bring it on!
A key point about housing availability as a trigger for migration: histories of discrimination led to ghettos and exclusive communities around the world. Someday I’d love @Ron Chan to tell the story of his family’s move to what is now the historic town of Locke in the Sacramento River Delta. He touches on it briefly in the story of his mother, May Tom. Like Jennifer’s story, it was also written for the Members’ Corner (https://projectkin.substack.com/p/may-tom-strength-through-adversity)
Our home is on the far side of the residential density zones developed in the 1930s to constrain African Americans, who, arriving from the Great Migration out of the Jim Crow South, were not allowed to own homes. These families moved out here to build ships for the WWII campaigns in the Pacific. Three generations of one such family lived in the house next door to us.
Haha… Arcadia Publishing. 🤔 I don’t have ambitions to be a publisher, but gosh you have me thinking about potential partnerships particularly for our up coming series, “All About That Place.”
Wow that WAS great fun, that you so much, @Jennifer Jones for agreeing to jump in the water with me on a day’s notice and at «checks watch» 4 in the morning. How DO you do it!
This session was so good, in fact, that I think I'll take a moment or two to compose my recording notes before circulating them. I have a post I’ve been thinking about soliciting feedback for this new series and gosh… I think the event was the post. I just need to fluff it up with details, and poof there it is!
I just published a post inspired by a previous broadcast - Kathy's Corner with a Roadmap for Creating a Treasure Box with guest Jane Chapman

What a terrific example, @Cyn Harris!

I’d love to hear more on this Carole

These stories are everywhere. Doing a quick look, I found this Substack post, hello, @Darrell Owens 👋. Loved your explainer on Berkeley history! (https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/the-history-of-gentrification-in)
