STAND UP AND BE COUNTED! Recently the Ukrainian Museum launched a new phase of fundraising activity by sending over 18,000 let ters to the greater Ukrainian community asking for sup port. The funds from this campaign are slated for the building of a new Museum facility. The Museum was founded in 1976. Since then it has grown tremendously in every aspect — size of collec tion, scope of agenda, span of educational and com munity programs. Yet physically, it is still confined to the same space within which it began its operations. Much has been written about our obligation as Ukrainian Americans to our heritage, to our future and to our survival. There is great understanding of this par ticular task by many people. They are the ones who rally to support our organizations, our schools, our churches. They too have been asked to support a museum, the depository of our historical and cultural inheritence, where in the spirit of pride and loving con cern, ruled by professional standards and applications, these treasures of our legacy have found a home. Unfor tunately, there are many people who do not understand or choose to ignore their moral obligation in this matter. The Ukrainian Museum cuts through all barriers which create groups within a society. Our culture is the cumulative effort of all our people, all Ukrainians, through many centuries, from times of great despair, as well as from times of great glory; from periods of learn ing and achievement, and from those times when dar kness reigned; from wars, battles and upheavals, and from peace, tranquility and serenity; from the mind and spirit of our most honored and talented artists, writers, composers, as well as from the busy, talented hands and hearts of our peasant folk. Hence, the reponsiblity of safeguarding our herit age belongs to all Ukrainians and those of Ukrainian descent. The accountability for growth and development of the Ukrainian Museum is not a matter of personal con viction. Yes, I will support this instituion because I like it and agree with its policy, or, no, I will not support this institution because it does not suit my viewpoint — is simply not applicable. In this matter there is no choice! Ritual cloth from Krolevets', Sumy oblast’, northeastern Ukraine, 1900. This ritual cloth is white cotton cloth woven in red. The tree of life motif is a derivative of the female image of fertility, the goddess Berehinia.
