Does ALTADENA HILLS have a famous grave surviving?

On a hill called Xiaoyuan Ding above Altadner, a grave stayed for 136 years with the booming community.

This is the remains of Owen Brown, the son of John Brown, the son of Legendary Number. Owen moved to Pasadena in the 1880s, and was welcomed by the locals. It was a hero who fought with his father in the Kansas War and Harper’s ferry raid. His funeral in 1889 attracted thousands of funerals, and he and a brother were restored in the past few years.

The grave became a lofty place, and then controversial in the early 2000s. At that time, the owner of the Little Round Top began to avoid curiosity. Licenses to promote public access. Brown’s tombstone disappeared for ten years and was found hundreds of feet along the mountain.

His last place to rest is now open to the public. A new owner gave a local group $ 300,000 to restore 2018. The Los Angeles County Supervisory Board specified it as a historical landmark in December, which is now under the care of the San Monica Mountain Protection Area.

This legend should be broadcast on the most famous broadcast on Wednesday Cemetery on Wednesday. The two brothers and sisters of Irving there are buried and engraved with his name and image plaque. Altadena residents and movie producers Pablo Miralles plans to debut 20 minutes of documentary in Irving’s life.

Facebook is where I know the screening. Facebook also learned that Miralles and his family lost home in Eaton Fire.

When she escaped the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands, he and his son escaped important documents, photos and a picture taken by a grandmother. Miralles’ production notebook and his final salary have been gone. The documentary has been stored online, although Miralles does not know when it will be screened.

People need to find the place where they live– us You need to find a place to live. “I am proud of my movie, but I can wait.”

Few people are eligible to make documentaries of Owen Brown. His parents came from Argentina’s immigrants. After finding enough houses and seven children, he moved from Eagle Rock to Altadner in the 1970s. They ignored friends who said Altadena’s “dangerous”, and provided funds for purchases through the banks owned by black people. Their conventional banks rejected “because they told my father’s house on the black street,” Millez said.

He remembered the pastoral growth in many ethnic paradigms, which made his rest of his life inform him for the rest of his life and eventually became his muse goddess. The 60 -year -old young man made a well -received documentary that tells how his alma mater John Muir High is in Pasadena, because the white family incorporates his children into private And franchise. Last year, Miralles wrote and directed a drama, imagining the friendship between the two most famous locals in the rose city Julia Child and Jackie Robinson. (I appeared in his 2012 documentary, telling the fierce football game between the United States and Mexico).

He said: “I don’t know if I will cover up Passaldina like me, but when you realize that you are from where you have a history of struggle, you must do this.”

Altadena’s charm attracted Miralles as a resident in 2019. At that time, he had shortened a four -minute career for the Owen Brown GraveSite Commission.

“You learn [John Brown] In school, he is a lunatic and lunatic, intending to kill the white slave owner. “But when you read his paper, he didn’t do that.”

Miralles’ short film chairman Michele Zack. She asked Miralles to make a longer movie, and the Passadar unified school district could be screened in the classroom.

Owen participated in the armed conflict with his father, making John Brown a character in the history of American history. In Kansas, Irving killed a man in a small -scale conflict between the settings of the abandoned slaveist and the settlement of the relatives. He stayed behind guarding weapons and horses, and his father led the Harper ferry to the Harper ferry in 1859, which led to the death of the two brothers of Owen and the captives and executions of John.

Zach said: “The 1850s resonated with what is happening with the current occurrence.” “Do you think we are split now? In the 1850s, we were split more. Everything, this is the history of our backyard.

She still wants to show a brown documentary to the public-but there is no time soon.

“There are many pain, loss and pain now, which will last many years-but we will not postpone [the film] Over the years, Zach said.

Miralles and his team are busy making a final decoration of the project. In fact, the day Eaton’s fire forced him to evacuate, the sound engineer was working hard (his house was still standing).

Miralles said: “The primitive radio slavetist has the literal root here-the man is still there, and his bones are there-very important.” “We need to live up to the ideal of the country like Owen, which means us The locals will work hard here to maintain diversity.

He looked at the main screen inspection time of the mobile phone. It had a photo of him, his wife, their sons, and two dogs in his home in his home early January.

We entered his SUV and drove into Altadena. The plan was to visit his incinerated home, and then see if Brown’s grave was unscathed. Both he and Zach didn’t know fate.

Miralles drove to his former school Franklin Elementary-destroyed. A chimney is the rest of the house where his brother lives. “This is a lot of my friends,” Mirales sighed, and sighed while flying around. “Just block, block and block.”

He decided not to stop in his home, “because I don’t want to wear dangerous goods again.” Instead, we passed the inspection station through the inspection station- “Military vehicle in my hood. This is a bit crazy.

The signs of surroundings warned people to be arrogant. Another claim: “The predators will be shot.” Others said that the danger of fire was “extreme.”

The paved streets have become a bicycle lane leading to Angelis National Forest. Miralles parked near a long -term abandoned car, and the car occupied the “Owen used to be an Owen hut.” A worker from the California Protection Corps soon asked us what we were doing there.

Miralles explained the purpose of our visit. Workers nodded.

He said, “I want to know why there is a trail there.” He waved on Xiaoyuan, and then walked back to clean up more brushes.

The first part of the trail is narrow, and the steep decline forces me to look forward, instead of writing in the notebook. Vibrant Silan, frosted oak and sage, stand together with dried Dried Chaparral. Along the way is the symbol of explanation. It tells the pioneer of two black Los Angeles: Biddy Mason is a woman who was previously enslaved. She became a wealthy property owner in the urban area. Robert Owens once collected wood on the mountain, and we are traveling on foot.

In the end, we arrived at the base of the small Yuanding roof named after the famous civil war, looking down at Altadena, which is devastating black trees and shallow attributes.

I asked Miralles what he saw.

“This is not what I see,” he replied. “This is me No look. “

From there, we climbed up a short and steep return to end the dirt plateau. Pine trees provide shadows for two benches. Before we were Brown’s grave.

After a short -term hikes on the mountain, Miralles watched the grave of Owen Brown, the son of John Brown, the son of the abandoned slaveist John Brown.

Stone outlines the location of his body. Someone pumped a heart in the dirt. On the head of the grave is a tombstone, which lists Brown’s name, his life and legend “the son of John Brown”.

No signs of damage to fire. Milar looked relieved.

“There were more vegetation here in the past, but everything was cleared,” we said while looking down at Altadena again. On the right side of us is LACAdAdaflintridge. The stripes of the pink flame retardant stain the valley below.

When we looked at Brown’s tombstone, he said, “I hope people realize the importance of this grave and the importance of Owen and his family on behalf of the country.” Then he looked back at his Altadena. Now, a bunch of dust rises from nearby.

“I used to hiking these hills. He said that a fire occurred every three to four years.” But I never thought what we happened would happen. “
