Massive thanks too to Jacob Sakil, who runs American Bites in Peckham, for his cooking, for sharing traditions & stories, & being a real friend to the project. Who else would have made the Choctaw dish bvnaha *&* Irish cornbread. Go raibh mile maith agat!

On All Soul's Day, Irish people lit candles on graves, left food for the dead, & were in communication with the ancestors. Meanwhile, evil spirits were warded against (carved turnips being especially good guardians! Over time, pumpkins were used in the US). #interconnectedness #enduringtraditions

The house needs some love today, & is currently for sale. Nevertheless, it stands as an intriguing & powerful reminder of the interwoven & rich histories found in Austin #irishaustin #blackhistory #sharinglands #thegift

Thanks so much for coming along, Derek, and being with us. We appreciate your support!

A huge go raibh mile maith agat to Jana, Tina, Christy, Ryan, Adam, Watta, Christian, & everyone for taking care of all the riders; this was a special, special week.
