Limehouse Causeway was the heart of Limehouse Chinatown. The area was known as the “Cantonese Quarter” as many of the early Chinese migrants that settled here were from Canton and southern China. Limehouse Causeway was an alley of Chinese stores and cafés and much smaller in size. There were also lodging-houses for the Chinese migrants, which were often run by English women. Limehouse Causeway was widened during 1934, which resulted in a number of businesses, alleys and side streets being wiped out. This was part of a then ongoing 'slum clearance', as Limehouse and Poplar (Pennyfields), were notorious for their

The Leath asylum was originally designed to assist protestant widows and orphans, after Ms Leath began to can for orphans in her home (Porter Leath.org, n.d). The leath asylum had quickly grown, after attracting the support and donation of the community.

Morgan’s famous heroic stand below Goldsboro Road would begin on March 18th. His “division (Second), Fourteenth Army Corps, took the advance for the Left Wing at 5:30 A.M. on Saturday the eighteenth”(Hughes Jr., 17). After Morgan helped federal foragers in his division fight off small rebel forces near Bushy Swamp, Sherman ordered him to hold his division where it was. In the early morning of March 19th, Morgan’s men would advance along with Sherman and WilliamCarlin’s men. They would soon be told to hold position again as Carlin went to engage against Confederates. It wouldn’t be until the afternoon at three o clock that Morgan would soon have to help Carlin and Slocum against the Confederates, due to Carlin’s inability to stop them in the skirmishes. After Mitchell had placed his men into the appropriate area, Morgan’s unit would march in. He would send one of his men to send a message to generals in the battle. First he sent a message “to Davis requesting that Vandever’s brigade (backed with the wagons at the rear of the corps) be rushed to him”(Hughes Jr, 98). Morgan also sent one to Benjamin Fearing to ask if he could help General Mitchell by being at his right while having some of his men attack to help “stiffen Vernon’s skirmish line” (Hughes Jr., 98). Also seeing that there were no enemy troops on the right side near Goldsboro road, Morgan ordered one of his men to perform reconnaissance. Later, he and his men would have to

The author describes the town and its surroundings with in the book with: “Way in the distance you got glimpses of the rich farmland of the Wirrawee district, dotted with houses and clumps of trees, the lazy Wirrawee river curving slowly through it. And on the other side was Hell” (Ch 2. P19) Wirrawee is a country town with many farms surrounding it. It is a small tight night community who live directly next to a large mountain range which is quite mysterious and majestic. The

The Young-Wise Memorial Plaza creates a closely-knit community of the students, faculty, and alumni of Hendrix College who either support the soldiers who had fallen or enjoy the pastime sport of football. The plaza connects the memorials of Robert Young, who died in combat during World War I, and brothers Jeremy and Benjamin Wise, who died in separate actions during the war against Afghanistan, in an area that resembles a park. Young and the two Wise brothers were former Hendrix students who volunteered to fight for their country after they graduated.

When I grow up, I want to be a black gum tree. Black gum trees are known for their internal strength. Instead of dwelling on outward beauty, they spend more time focusing on their inner growth and developing their core. Only after they have achieved this goal can they produce beautiful fruits that draw animals near to them. Any surfaces that the berries touch are stained as to say, “I was here and made a permanent difference.” After they have utilized their outward influences, they use their internal scars and hollow places to protect the animals surrounding around it. If human lives were to reflect the concepts of the black gum tree, governments, individuals, and communities would be radically transformed. While this is a beautiful image,
Years ago, there was once a small town called Chaves Ravine within Los Angeles, California and this town was a poor rural community that was always full of life. Two hundred families, mostly Chicano families, were living here quite peacefully until the Housing Act of 1949 was passed. The Federal Housing Act of 1949 granted money to cities from the federal government to build public housing projects for the low income. Los Angeles was one of the first cities to receive the funds for project. Unfortunately, Chavez Ravine was one of the sites chosen for the housing project, so, to prepare for the construction work of the low-income apartments, the Housing Authority of Los Angeles had to convince the people of the ravine to leave, or forcibly
When Esperanza and her friends go back to the Monkey Garden it is very different from when they used to play in it as kids. The main difference is that now the monkey is gone and the “garden” has now become a dump for old beat-up cars. Instead of beautiful flowers everywhere weeds have now mixed in and taken over. The kids on Mango Street had a fort in the back of an old pickup truck and believed it had many secrets as she says, “We liked to think the garden could hide things for a thousand years. There beneath the roots of soggy flowers were the bones of murdered pirates and dinosaurs, the eye of a unicorn turned to coal”(96). Until one day when Esperanza just wanted to sit beneath a tree and die, but the Monkey Garden wouldn’t let her. Esperanza
Pennyfields was part of Limehouse Chinatown. The area was known as the “Shanghai Quarter”, as many of the early Chinese migrants that settled here were from Shanghai. Similar to Limehouse Causeway, Pennyfields had Chinese stores and lodging houses, Pennyfields also housed a Christian mission for the Chinese Community, as well as a Confucian temple. Since there were no local Chinese newspapers at the time, Pennyfields had a news wall displaying news stories from China. However, due to the 'slum clearance', it is difficult to know where the news wall stood.
