Philanthropist Ima Hogg, born on this day in 1882, was one of the first commissioners of what is now the Texas Historical Commission. She donated her family property, @VHoggPlantation, to the state in 1958 as a historic site.
Texas philanthropist Ima Hogg was born on this day in 1882.
She did not have a sister—named Ura or otherwise.
Ima was much more than the subject of a joke about names. She funded many organizations, spanning mental health, the arts, & historic preservation.
Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! DAR is excited to celebrate the accomplishments of women in American history! We hope you will explore some of the Women’s History Month resources we have at the DAR. Learn more here: https://t.co/TDIHZmvTef

My babies are too young to read this now. And they’d barely recognize me in my gear. But if they lose me to COVID I want them to know Mommy tried really hard to do her job. #GetMePPE#NYC
My Mum says that in their village people have started “Going On A Bear Hunt”- you put a teddy in your window & the kids spot them on their one walk of the day. Thought it was a sweet idea to pass on 🐻💕 @WalkerBooksUK@MichaelRosenYes
The only way we're going to survive this is to isolate ourselves physically. But the only way we're going to survive that is to come closer together in every other possible way. And STORIES are an incredibly powerful way of doing that. #UnitedByBooks
