SUMMARY:Juneteenth: Celebrating Our Stories
DESCRIPTION:Freedom came to Texas on June 19\, 1865\, over two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. On that day\, Union Soldiers arrived in Galveston\, Texas\, and U.S. Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order 3\, declaring formerly enslaved people as free men and women. This day has come to be known as Juneteenth and is also called Freedom Day or Emancipation Day. Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It became a national holiday in 2021 and an Oregon State Holiday in 2022. \nThe City of West Linn is holding its 2023 Juneteenth celebration on Saturday\, June 17\, in Old Willamette\, and the West Linn Alliance (WLA) is participating in the festivities with a focus on storytelling. The WLA has teamed up with the West Linn Public Library and the Oregon Historical Society to record the stories of residents of all backgrounds and beliefs as a way of preserving our collective heritage for future generations. Topics to talk about\, as an individual or in conversation with a family member or friend\, may be focused on an understanding of the Juneteenth holiday – or on people\, places\, and events in West Linn that have been special in some way. Stories will be recorded by a professional audiographer\, with one copy going to you and a second copy permanently filed in the Local History Collection at the West Linn Public Library for public access. Only 12 recording slots are available\, so reservations are recommended. \nDate/Time: June 17\, 11:00am-3:00pm \nRecording Booth Location: Lower level at 1609 Willamette Falls Drive \nRecording Sessions: Recordings will take place 11:00 AM-2:40 PM in 20-minute sessions. Walk-in sessions may be possible if recording slots are still available. \nReservations: Email westlinnalliance@gmail.com by June 14 at 7:00 PM with participant name(s)\, email address(es)\, and phone number(s); proposed conservation topic; preferred time; preferred language (English\, Spanish\, Vietnamese or Mandarin); and whether there is a need to accommodate someone with physical limitations. Confirmation of a time slot will be sent in advance of the event. \nRelease Form: The archiving of your story by the West Linn Library requires a release form giving your permission for the recording to be available for public access.

SUMMARY:Understanding Urban/Rural Divides - An Oregon Humanities Conversation Project
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Urban/Rural Divides \nAn Oregon Humanities Conversation Project with Nick Nash \nWhen: May 6\, 2023 at 2:00-4:00 pm  \nWhere: West Linn Public Library  \nFree Event \nThe West Linn Alliance\, in partnership with the West Linn Public Library\, is pleased to bring you “Understanding Urban/Rural Divides.” \nWe live in a time of increasing polarization that often correlates to divides between urban and rural regions in our state. This polarization is so extreme that it often seems like the two sides may have completely different experiences of the world. \nJoin facilitator Nick Nash in a conversation that asks\, How does the urban/rural divide affect the ways we relate to each other as Oregonians? What is the urban/rural divide\, and how do we understand it? How does this divide affect our day-to-day lives\, our experiences of being governed and of the COVID-19 pandemic? This conversation is a chance to reflect on the beliefs we have about our urban or rural neighbors with a focus on discovering and abandoning misbeliefs\, investigating and learning about the real differences between the urban and the rural\, and trying to find things that we all share as Oregonians. \nNick Nash lives in Pendleton\, Oregon\, where he teaches philosophy at Blue Mountain Community College and works as a community development consultant for Eastern Oregon Business Source. He and his wife\, Rachel\, moved back to northeastern Oregon after living outside the area for fifteen years.

SUMMARY:The Making of American Whiteness
DESCRIPTION:The Making of American Whiteness\nPresented by Dr. Carmen P. Thompson\, in conversation with Dr. Darrell Millner\nThursday\, April 6\, 2023\, at 5:30pm\nAt the Oregon Historical Society\, Portland\nFree and open to the public \nRegister Here \nThe Making of American Whiteness: The Formation of Race in Seventeenth-Century Virginia changes the narrative about the origins of race and Whiteness in America. With an exhaustive range of archival documents\, Carmen P. Thompson demonstrates not only that Whiteness predates European expansion to the Americas — as evidenced by European participation in the transatlantic slave trade since the fifteenth century — but\, more importantly\, that Whiteness was the principal dynamic in the settlement of Virginia\, the first colony in what would become the United States of America. Just as the system of White supremacy was the principal order that fueled the transatlantic slave trade\, it was likewise the framework that drove the organization of civil society in Virginia\, including the organization and structure of the colony’s laws; its social\, political\, and economic policies; and its system of governance. This book shows what Whiteness looked like in everyday life in the early seventeenth century\, finding it eerily predictive to Whiteness today. \nDoors will open at 5:30pm\, and a short program will begin at 6pm. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author through the OHS Museum Store\, and light refreshments will be served. Learn More

SUMMARY:Minoru Yasui Day
DESCRIPTION:In 2016 Oregon’s legislature designated March 28 Minoru Yasui Day to honor the state’s only Presidential Medal of Freedom awardee’s tireless fight for equality\, justice\, democracy\, and civil rights. This year the Min Yasui Day program is scheduled for Saturday\, April 1\, from 1 to 3 pm. In person at the White Stag Building (70 NW Couch Street\, Portland) and streaming live on YouTube. \nThis year’s program will feature \n➢ The Man: Reflections from Dr. Homer Yasui\, Honorary Chair of the Min Yasui Legacy Project and historian extraordinaire. \n➢ His Work: Reflections from Dr. Robin Yasui\, Minoru Yasui’s niece\, on Min’s life work as a Colorado attorney addressing injustice across all populations. In addition to the Asian population for which he is most well-known\, he advocated for the rights of women and LGBTQ community\, Native and African Americans\, Jews\, and Latinos. \n➢ His Legacy Today Panel (with Jessica Asai\, Weston Koyama\, and Anna Reutin): The importance and relevance of Min’s work across generations\, from high school to social justice lawyers. \n➢ Behind These Bars: Dedication of the jail cell where Min spent nine months in solitary confinement fighting for justice for all Americans. While these bars could not confine Min’s spirit\, the arduous journey of the cell from the Multnomah County Courthouse to its permanent resting place at the Japanese American Museum of Oregon in Portland symbolizes Min’s life work and how this spirit of an extraordinary activist was strengthened rather than diminished by confinement. Min’s determination and faith in our Constitution will be illustrated by the reading of a few poems written behind these bars. \nHosted by: Minoru Yasui Legacy Project in collaboration with the Japanese American Museum of Oregon (JAMO). \nRegister to attend the in-person program or to stream online.
