History (from the old page)

Donations keep the mission alive—they fund preservation of the site, exhibits, and education programs so the story of the 1913 Paterson Silk Strike stays accessible to new generations. Buying an engraved brick is both practical support and a public statement of solidarity: your name becomes part of the walkway, literally building the path forward the same way workers once built power together. Each brick is a small piece of “permanent memory,” honoring labor history while showing that the community is still investing in it today.
