Thesis abstract:
The underlying identity of a place is carried forward despite drastic economic, social, and cultural changes in a community and continues to exert a strong influence in the present day.
Although the steel works no longer exist in Homestead, the community is still there with memories of past glory days. The communal memories of people in the neighborhood play a large role in defining their past and the intertwining of individual and communal memory will paint a comprehensive picture of the way things were. By giving people an educational local museum celebrating their heritage, they will be able to retain elements of a past that seems like it is slipping away to the claws of big business.
