Description
City of Chelsea, Guest: Marianne Ramos
A
A
B
You
so
much
for
inviting
me
celeste,
and
I
wanted
to
tell
our
audience
that
we
were
thinking
of
barbara
melvin,
an
irish
american
from
chelsea
who
was
absolutely
a
leader
in
all
of
the
great
saint
patrick's
day
parties
that
happened
in
the
senior
center
over
the
years.
So
I
do
represent
the
older
generation.
As
you
can
see,
and
I
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
that-
there
is
so
much
common
ground.
All
people
have.
I
have
one
grandfather
who
was
also
irish.
B
B
B
A
A
And
that's
when
you
were
program
coordinator,
yes-
and
I
was
always
curious
to
ask
you
on
that
day,
did
you
ever
have
anybody
truly
get
up
and
speak
about?
I
mean
their
culture
and
from
being
from
ireland
or
being
an
irish
latino
or
being
an
irish
african.
I
mean,
because
you
know
the
diaspora
is-
is
very
broad.
B
Absolutely
we,
I
have
this
expression,
blended
and
splendid,
which
covers
all
of
that
and
more.
We
know
that
within
the
word
irish,
we
have
what
we
call
the
black
irish,
who
were
people
whose
descendants
came
off
of
the
shipwrecks
from
spain
and
there's
also
the
orange
irish
from
the
northern
province
that
were
considered
the
rivals
and
enemies,
sometimes
of
the
green
irish
who
embraced
roman
catholicism
and
who
celebrated
who
they
were
in
a
different
way.
I
have
the
first
trivia
question:
are
you
ready?
B
A
B
B
You
some
of
you,
are
going
to
know
the
answer.
Okay,
if
you
said
st
patrick's
day,
yay,
that's
worth
10
points,
but
if
you
said
halloween
the
hard
answer,
that's
worth
50
points
in
case
you're
keeping
score.
If
you
know
it
was
halloween
know
that
many
of
the
practices
of
the
ancient
celtic
people
were
made
more
child
friendly
over
the
years
and
par
were
incorporated
in
halloween.
B
As
a
matter
of
fact,
this
book
is
an
example
of
something
important.
We
all
know
about
the
men
we
celebrate
on
march
17th,
whose
name
is
saint
patrick.
Does
everyone
know
where
he
was
born?
Here's
another
trivia
question
was
he
born
in
ireland
or
maybe
somewhere
else?
Well,
the
answer
is
everyone
he
was
actually
born
in
england.
B
A
B
B
B
B
B
To
have
compassion
for
people
who
didn't
always
treat
him
well,
so
he
felt
called
of
god
to
beco,
as
he
grew
to
be
a
priest
and
he
felt
called
of
god
I'm
going
back
to
ireland,
even
though
I'm
still
angry
at
those
pigs,
I'm
going
back
yeah,
and
so
he
did
go
back
to
ireland
and
there's
many
legends
and
also
historical
facts
about
how
the
people
of
the
ancient
celtic
tradition
mostly
accepted.
The
roman
catholic
religion
and
the
bonus
was
interesting.
B
A
A
Yes,
okay
forgiveness,
about
your
conditions
in
life.
If
you're
going
through
something
and
someone's
oppressing
you
and
you
finally
be
the
one
to
come
out
on
top
of
the
situation,
you
don't
go
back
and
retaliate.
You
kind
of
like
forgive
the
situation
and
saint
patrick,
had
a
founder
found,
a
love
for
ireland.
B
A
B
You
remember
the
man
who
used
to
say
in
his
famous
national
show
that
came
on
once
a
week
we're
having
a
very
big
shoe
tonight.
Do
you
know
his
name
yeah?
Do
you
know
his
name,
mr
ed
sullivan,
of
course,
and
we
know
he
launched
people
from
every
culture
on
his
show.
Irish
and
jewish
circus
stars
and
famous
pop
singers.
B
A
A
B
And
60s
many
of
the
people,
I'm
talking
to
remember
the
lawrence
welk
show
if
you
remember
lauren's,
welcome
raise
your
hand.
He
had
a
regular
performer
who
was
on
every
week
the
irish
tenor,
whose
name
was
do
you
know
the
name?
This
is
going
to
be
worth
100
points,
mr
joe
feeney,
joe
feeney
sung
traditional
irish
songs.
Even
lawrence
walk
might
have
been
a
polish
extraction.
The
lenin
sisters
were
polish
and
irish
and
mexican.
It
was
but
everyone
and
became
like
a
tv
family.
A
Now
that
you
just
said
that
right,
yes,
I've
got
this
vision
of
a
multicultural
mixture
of
people
enjoying
irish
culture.
Yes,
in
a
whole,
it
didn't
matter
what
their.
What
their
background
was.
The
love
of
the
music
and
the
art
brought
joe
feeney
and
people
like
the
andrew
sisters.
Together,
they
were
fantastic
by
the
way.
I
remember
I
was
just
a
wee
little
girl,
yes
and
fantasizing
that
I
wanted
to
be.
You
know,
have
a
lot
of
sisters
like
that
yeah
and
we
all
like
sing,
songs
and
make
people
happy.
A
Yes,
you
know
and
that's
what
they
did.
You
know
the
angel
sisters
were
a
great
group
and,
if
you're
interested
again
in
this
subject
and
the
type
of
music
that
was
back
then
in
that
era,
I'm
giving
you
reference
of
information
that
you
can
go
on
social
media
and
you
can
find
what
marianne
is
talking
about
right
now,
but.
B
I
have
something
very
exciting
for
remember.
In
the
50s
television
became
a
normal
part
of
many
people's
lives.
It
was
the
new
latest
greatest
technology
and
as
from
the
50s
on
to
the
60s,
there
was
a
very
important
tv
show.
It
was
called
disneyland
and
disneyland
was
named
for
who
a
famous
irish
american
and
his
name
was
what
you
all
know
walt.
A
A
B
It
was
very
important
they
were
of
the
time
it
was
very
sure,
but
to
go
beyond
that.
He
actually
had
another
show
that
started
when
I
was
very
small
when
I
was
a
wee
less
and
it
would
feature
walt
disney's
latest
products
which
were
animated
movies,
as
well
as
movies
that
were
dramatized
such
as
davy
crockett,
but
of
all
the
movies
that
he
made.
B
Some
of
them
are
very
famous
and
some
are
not,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
win
a
big
big
by
the
way
disney
was
like
an
innovator,
a
technology
innovator
of
his
day.
The
way
he
used
animation
in
brand
new
ways
that
had
never
been
done
before
it's
all
school
animation.
But
it's
a
fascinating
look
it
up
too
yeah.
But
but
you
know
what
I
was.
A
B
A
A
B
B
A
B
B
B
A
B
A
I
did
it
with
irish
american
history
and
I've
gone
all
the
way
to
ireland,
which
is
this
is
a
map
of
ireland
that
you're
looking
at
right
here
that
miss
marianne
ramos
had
the
pleasure
of
bringing
us.
So
we
could
pretty
much
get
an
idea
of
what
it
island
looks
like
on
the
european
side
of
things,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
of
irish
americans
here
and
even
the
culture
from
ireland
to
america
might
have
some
slight
differences.
A
A
As
as
a
a
woman
that
has
these
combination
of
cultures,
yes,
going
on
and
the
speciality
of
being
bilingual
is
a
blessing
too
in
itself,
and
that's
an
inspiring
trait
about
you.
Thank
you
that
you
do
tackle
subjects
on
a
higher
level
than
what
we
would
think
of
on
the
norm,
but
it's
not
just
the
book
work
of
it
all.
What
is
your
experience
as
a
daughter
of
an
irishman,
irish,
you
know
american,
like
how
did
you
navigate
through
different
cultures,
different
system,
as
a
woman
too,.
B
That
would
be
my
I'm
glad
you
asked,
because
this
is
going
to
help
me
say
two
things
that
are
on
my
heart.
When
I
was
12
years
old,
there
was
a
presidential
campaign
that
was
very
historical
between
john
f
kennedy,
a
young,
barely
old
enough
to
be
president
man,
who
was
irish
catholic.
Yes,
we
all
know
john
f
kennedy
he's
he's
more
than
than
we
know,
because
in
the
latin
nations
you
know
in
places
like
honduras
and
colombia
and
the
dominican
republic,
and
so
many
other
nations
salvador.
B
B
And
his
roman
catholic
faith
was
another
big
factor
and
his
elect
when
he
was
vote
running
to
be
voted
upon
his
he
hoped.
The
president,
his
opponents
said
well
since
you're,
a
roman
catholic,
the
pope
will
tell
you
how
to
make
decisions
instead
of
you
doing
it
yourself.
So
he
had
to
be
very
diplomatic
about
that
similar
to
the
more
recent
story
of
barack
obama,
who
was
said,
said
well,
reverend
wright
is
going
to
influence
you,
and
so
both
men
had
great
great,
deep
thinking
answers
where
they
assured
that
they
would
be
honoring.
B
B
And
the
civil
rights
era
was
flowing,
let's
just
say
that
there
was
a
new
generation.
Some
of
them
were
just
maybe
five
years
older
than
me,
some
of
them
as
my
age,
but
who
really
had
an
ideal
for
a
better,
a
new
and
better
time
in
the
united
states
in
the
world
that
really
believing
in
peace
versus
war,
really
believing
that
we
could
be
better
all
of
us
together
if
we
had
equal
rights,
civil
rights
and
it
was
wonderful
and
one
person
who
personified
that
was
joan
baez.
A
B
A
B
B
A
B
Let's
talk
about
her
courage
was
that
when
she
was
still
a
teenager,
a
tiny
slim
young
woman,
she
stood
with
martin
luther
king
on
one
of
his
marches
because
she
knew
she
was
already
a
celebrity
and
other
celebrities
did
the
same.
She
was
a
celebrity
and
that
might
help
the
class
and
it
might
be
more
protective
of
the
people
in
the
class,
but
she
was
facing
danger.
She
was
basically.
A
For
you
guys,
because
that's
that's
more
of
what
I
wanted
to
know,
how
was
it
for
you
as
a
woman
as
a
woman
in
that
time
of
I,
you
know
you
have
these
mixtures
of
cultures
going
on
and
that
time
is
like
who
do
you
serve?
You
know,
do
you
serve
your
latino
side?
Do
you
serve
your
indian
site?
Do
you
serve
your
irish
site,
or
do
you
become
a
whole
person
by
engaging
with
each
culture
with
tender?
Loving
care
and
wanting
to
be
educated
is
the
most
part
of
this.
A
B
I
would
say
that
voting
was
as
long
as
you
were.
21
was
easier
than
many
of
the
other
things
we
had
to
navigate.
In
the
day
there
were
the
minimum
wage
was
finally
went
up
to
a
dollar
25
an
hour.
Women
got
paid
less
than
men,
help
wanted
in
the
newspapers.
You
got
a
job
in
the
newspaper
back
then
help
wanted
women
help
wanted
men
separate
columns,
women
to
be
hired,
had
to
be
between
18
and
25.
B
For
many
jobs,
wow
there
was
a
so
there
was
as
women
we
we
had
much
to
do
to
get
to
where
the
women
are
today
and
also
in
terms
of
being
multicultural.
That
was
considered
next
to
being
a
communist
or
a
socialist,
and
I
was
persecuted
okay
by
my
high
school
guidance,
counselor.
Okay,
because
I
joined
the
vista
program
inspired
by
kennedy
himself,
okay,
but
because
he
chased
me
through
a
supermarket
and
said
you're
an
enemy
of
your
country,
you're,
an
enemy
of
your
country.
B
So
I
stopped
I
stood
still
and
I
faced
him-
and
I
said:
excuse
me:
why
are
my
enemy
of
my
of
my
country
says?
Because
you
joined
the
vista,
I
said
that's
the
dream
of
president
kennedy
and
I
just
I
walked
away.
I
had
to
be
fingerprinted
for
the
job.
Those
were
days
in
which
they
were
things
that
remind
me
of
now.
A
A
But
the
reason
why
we're
covering
those
subjects
in
close
reference
is
because
they
coincide
with
each
other,
because,
even
though
women,
you
know
struggle
suffrage,
saint
patrick's
struggle
suffrage.
Yes,
we
move
forward.
We
do
we
move
forward.
We
embrace
you
know
being
educated
by
someone
who
knows
a
little
more
than
us
about
a
subject.
A
A
B
A
She
talked
about
people
that
inspired
her
like
joan
baez,
who
is
also
irish
and
mexican.
So
even
if
you
have
latino
heritage
or
african-american
black
american,
I
mean
I
don't
care
what
your
culture
is.
If
you
are
celebrating
st
patrick's
day
this
year,
everybody's
irish,
on
that
day,
uh-huh
just
enjoy
and
and
be
safe
and
and
and
appreciate.
All
of
who
you
are
you
know
because
it'll
make
you
be
less
biased
against
another
culture.
If
you
knew
that
you
had
a
little
bit
of
that
in
you.
A
B
Thank
you
so
much
because
you
hit
on
some
very
deep
things
as
a
woman,
and
I
speak
to
women
of
every
culture.
What
have
I
learned
of
in
my
lifetime?
So
far,
things
can
get
better,
I'm
so
happy
that
this
country
does
have
a
way
that
the
constitution
can
be
amended
and
so
that
the
voting
age
can
go
down
to
18.,
yeah
and
so
that
civil
rights
can
happen
and
and
more
recently,
domestic
violence
was
once
considered
normal
average
and
I
have
I've
suffered
through
domestic
violence
myself.
Speaking
of
women's
issues,.
B
B
B
A
Thank
you
so
much
marian's
slogan,
never
forget
it
blend
it
and
splendid,
but
once
you
recognize
that
that's
a
part
of
who
you
are
you
know
that's
up
to
you
to
educate
yourself.
It's
up
to
you
to
wanna.
You
know
be
more
open
and
know
about
things.
No
one's
forcing
you.
This
platform
is
not
to
like
demand
anything
it's
just
to
help.
You
get
more
educated
about
the
people
around
you
and
the
culture,
the
cultures
that
are
around
you
before.
A
A
A
You
know
and
other
subjects.
So
you
know
the
conversations
are
still
going
to
go
on
we're
still
going
to
get
inspired.
You
know
by
generations.
Sometimes
you
know
that
inspiration
doesn't
come
from
celeste
williams.
It
comes
from
a
guest
like
marianne
that
is
very
thorough
and
and
very
appreciative
for
art
in
in
other
cultures
and
and
she's
out
there
every
day
trying
to
make
things
better.
So
thank
you
for
coming
on
inspiring
generations.
