premise: In response to Ike, and as part of an ongoing effort to save threatened historic sites across the United States, Brink's organization has added the Galveston district to its annual list of "America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places." Since 1988, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has announced an annual list of sites it aims to restore, protect and preserve. "Whether these sites are urban districts or rural landscapes, Native American landmarks or 20th-century sports arenas, entire communities or single buildings, the list spotlights historic places across America that are threatened by neglect, insufficient funds, inappropriate development or insensitive public policy," the group said on its Web site.
hypothesis: The National Trust for Historic Preservation was founded in 1988 by Brink's organization.
