Edward S Curtis shot this photo of three young Hopi women at an unidentified New Mexico Pueblo in 1906. It's my understanding that the distinctive 'squash blossom' hairstyle was worn by women eligible for marriage. (Library of Congress)

As Hanukkah begins, I’m thinking of the victims of the horrific attack in Sydney. The Jewish community has always been resilient, but this shows we all must continue standing together against antisemitism.

Gabby and I hope everyone celebrating Hanukkah can find peace and light.

Today marks the 148th birthday of Mykola Leontovych, a famous Ukrainian composer. His iconic tune, Shchedryk (aka Carol of the Bells), is a symbol of Ukraine’s culture.

Listen to its captivating performance by Cultural Forces.
Even amidst ruins, it exuberates life and hope❤️

The Kyiv Metro — a regular shelter for local residents — has become a place of joy, thanks to resilient people singing carols and celebrating Saint Nicholas❤️

Even in the darkest hour, Ukrainians find the light within and share it with each other, lifting their spirits.

In much of the English speaking world they were called navigators or navvies. In America they were called gandy dancers, the men who laid the bed and tracks. Jack Delano took this photo in Illinois in 1943 for the Office of War Information. Gandy dancers doing hard work.
