“It is good that Mr. Mulira tells the story of the unknown black Ugandan Diaspora. I hope this bookencourages more books written by others who fi nd themselves living away from their beautiful homeland.”

- M/s Yasmin Alibhai –Brown, writer for the Guadian, London, U.K.

“Th is is a very interesting and informative book. I enjoyed reading it and learned not only the life storiesand contributions of Ugandan immigrants in Canada but also the history of Canadian immigration.”

Ugandan immigrants in Canada have become more visible in recent years. Yet, it is likely that only a smallpercentage of Canadian citizens are well informed of the history and interesting traditions of these peoplefrom East Africa. Th e actual number of Ugandan immigrants currently living in Canada is uncertain butcould range from 10,000 to 20,000 people. Most of the Ugandan immigrants in Canada live in majormetropolitan areas like greater Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. In theU.S. where the number is larger, they are also mostly concentrated in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles,Chicago and other large industrial cities.

When I was five years old, I started hand sewing my fourth quilt, my log cabin quilt. When I was picturing it, I was imagining the Story of “This Old House”, a story told by my Great Aunt Chris Coutts about our family’s 200 year old homestead. I loved hearing how it was rich with the proud history of our country and the brave men and women who defended it. This story ties my quilt to our family history and acts as a tribute to our Country. The log cabin quilt pattern is made of pieced strips built up like logs and represents the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, the log cabin President, and the simple pioneering values of frontier America: honesty, hard work, humility and liberty.In 1862, Abraham Lincoln said “In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth. Interestingly, Underground Railroad quilt coders believe many different quilt patterns may have represented messages or clues to runaway slaves escaping north on the Underground Railroad. These patterns may have included the log cabin pattern, bear paw, flying geese and star; all these patterns are in my log cabin quilt.“This Old House of ours has seen many families raised under its roof, and it has lived with them all the joys and sorrows that make up life. First, before ever there was a building here, the land looked upon some important events in the early Wallenpaupack Settlement of Pennsylvania.” Chris Coutts 1977This Old House, the inspiration for my The Log Cabin Quilt Story, was built in the early 1800’s. Before it was built some interesting history took place on the site of This Old House homestead in Northeastern Pennsylvania.Let’s begin a long time ago, before the Revolutionary War, around the 1750’s. A brave family, the Carter family settled in Pennsylvania alongside the Wallenpaupack River among the Paupackan Indians, who soon became their friends. These first white settlers built their log cabin out of logs cut in the forest, constructed a stone chimney from the rocks along the hillside, and plastered the crevices with the clay from the river. Tragedy struck when Mr. Carter and his family were killed and their house burned during the French and Indian War.“The Indian Chief Paupackan’s heart was sore within him for he loved his pale-face neighbor.” Tales and Lore of the first Settlers, Traditions of Wallenpaupack, Helen M. Cooke 190lThe log cabin is a symbol of an expanding America and a testament to the ingenuity of the American spirit. The log cabin quilt pattern is made of pieced strips of fabric built up like logs. My log cabin quilt is set in the barn raising pattern, which depicts the community cooperation that was necessary to survive newly settle territories.

IT IS DECEMBER 25, 2008:

There is an acclamation here to write an autobiography;not for publicity, family informative orfinancial gain. It is simple a story to correct, whatappear to be a myth of my real life experience.It is important that the record be rectified onthis subject. Rectified not to down-play others orpersonally enhance the individual; but, just to beinformative to interested parties.

In our society, there is a misconception in somegroups that some people of certain cultural grouprefuse to participate in the educational institutionsof the nation; and the individual is judged on thisbelief. True information was publicized that the individual was participating in a farmoperation. Well, in his social dealings it was aper ante that his associates classified himas being uneducated. So, when attempt was made to present reality concerning thissubject, the question was asked "was the study in agriculture"?

No, the study were not in agriculture, the subject received a Master Degree in politicalscience. Then he must be planing to be a politician! This is the common resolutionamong the misinformed; this is an activity, not to criticize anyone or to belittle theuninformed public, it is just to enhance the socialization process. This story is foreducational improvement only. The interest is the study of geographical social activitiesof international associates; the working of law, education and social institutions theworld over; such as, results of activities of individual, business and government andthe consequences that followed.

Among some it is not understood that life is not monolithic, it is unique for individualsand this story may create a more knowledgeable environment. A community ofrespectful individuals is a more peaceful surrounding. This group of disciplineindividuals will have a positive effect on social institutions. Industry, law-enforcementand education will be improved; there will be increased demand for human resourceand over-all improved economic development. Real understanding of life will enhancecondition internationally.
