Special St. Patrick’s Day page!
Even as we remain isolated to slow the spread of virus, here is hoping you have a great St. Patrick’s Day! Enjoy the videos below: The first video is a quick history of how tmany Irish came to America and how they were treated., forshadowing the treatement of future waves of immigrants. The second is about how the Easter rebellion of 1916 created the modern Ireland as the Irish rebelled against Brisith rule. The third is a popular traditional song of famine and rebellion, giving you insight about issues embedded in the Irish culture The fourth is a more modern song by the Cranberries about innocents caught in the crossfire of lingering Irish resentments, made more understandible after learning about 1916. The fifth video was to have been a cover of the same song with Dolores O’Riordan, the lead singer, but she died unepectedy just before it could be made. Now that video is an update, a tribute, and a challenge to us all that needless history still repeats itself when we do not learn from it and change it. JUST POSTED! Easter is a big holiday for the Irish, and this year will be the 105th anniversary of the Easter Rising that began the modern Ireland. The Irish Emigration Museum has just posted a “history at home” packet full of activities about Easter in Ireland! CLICK HERE to visit the museum’s download page! These videos remind us that the Irish and Irish history and culture are much more complicated than shamrocks and cartoon leprechauns, and with over 10% of Americans having Irish ancestry, they give us insight into America. Of course, St. Patrick’s Day gives us a chance to try other things too. If staying home is making you stir crazy, you might check out these recipies and cook up some Irish tradition (with parental permission and help!) in your own kitchen! Irish Soda Bread Irish Bangers and Mash Irish Shepherd’s Pie Here’s hoping that even at home, you had a great St. Patrick’s Day!GLOBAL NEWS
