In this episode we talk about family history and traditions. We have a story about the Lunar New Year celebrations. And a Black History Month Sketchbook about a special Massillon Museum memory project.
For our write-to-us this week: tell us about your family’s history.
What are some stories or traditions that are important to you and your family?

Dear NewsDepth,
Something about my family is that I am related to Susan B. Anthony on my mom’s side. Susan B. Anthony is a great woman who played a huge role in earning women the right to vote for president in America.

I went to visit my great grandma over the summer we call he Nonna. every Christmas we have an Italian dessert called Patiton it is a bred and you can fill it with dried fruit or chocolate. My dad, and Nonno both speak Italian my mom can speak a little like my sisters and me. Both my grandparents on my moms side are Irish.

Dear NewsDepth,
I am related to H.L. Hunley, a Confederate submarine builder. He built 3 submarines (The Pioneer, the American Diver [Or the Pioneer 2.], and the Hunley.) that all eventually sank. Hunley died on the 3rd sinking of the Hunley. This isn't really bragged in my family because of the Confederates losing (And I'm NOT rooting for the Confederates)

My family has a tradition that we do each year at Christmas time. It is going to my Great-Grandma and Grandpa's house. Every year we eat a big meal and then open presents. After we are done opening presents we take family pictures and have fun spending time together. I look forward to this time every year and hope to enjoy it for many more years.
