SUMMARY:Hey Neighbor - Conversations to Connect Our Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Artillery Barracks\, 600 E Hatheway Rd. on April 18\, 6-8 p.m. \nAs part of the National Week of Conversation (April 15-21)\, The Historic Trust and partners invite you to participate in a community conversation event based around “36 Questions for Civic Love.”\nWhat is civic love? It’s love for this place we call home\, expressed by looking out for each other\, connecting with our neighbors\, volunteering for causes we care about\, and honoring our differences as we celebrate our common bonds.  \nIn 1997\, psychologist Arthur Aron explored whether love between two perfect strangers could be accelerated by asking each other a set of 36 questions. The 36 Questions for Civic Love are adapted for a new kind of experiment—aimed at helping us all fall in civic love\, and reconnect with our home and our neighbors. You and a partner will ask each other a series of 36 questions and listen to each other’s answers. It’s as simple as that. We hope you’ll join us to learn more about your community\, yourself\, and our connection to this wonderful place we call home.  \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:That Ribbon of Highway: Woody Guthrie in the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Trust and Humanities Washington partner to present a discussion with Joel Underwood.  \n\n\n\nFolksinger and activist Woody Guthrie composed 26 songs in 30 days while riding along the Columbia River and touring the Grand Coulee Dam Project in 1941. With his unique\, authentic voice\, he chronicled both the grandeur and the perils of what he called “The Greatest Thing That Man Has Ever Done” as an employee of the Bonneville Power Administration. His time here in the Pacific Northwest inspired a swell of patriotism that led Guthrie to enlist in the U.S. Merchant Marine in World War II\, after which he returned home to fame and notoriety\, but also to tragedy and tremendous personal loss.     \nHistorian\, teacher\, folksinger\, and actor Joel Underwood performs an hour that is part concert\, part theatrical drama\, and part lecture. Sing along to “Roll on Columbia\,” “Pastures of Plenty\,” and of course\, “This Land is Your Land\,” and learn the—sometimes hilarious\, sometimes tragic—stories behind the songs.  \nJoel Underwood (he/him) is an actor\, teacher\, musician\, and historian. After 25 years teaching high school history\, Underwood got his master’s degree in American History with a focus on folk and protest music. A recipient of the Woody Guthrie Fellowship\, Underwood was granted access to the Woody Guthrie Archives in Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, to research Woody’s time in the World War II Merchant Marines. Underwood continues to tour as a musician\, both solo and with his daughter. \nUnderwood lives in Olympia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick HERE for details and registration information. This program is offered free of charge but seating is limited so register soon!\n\n\nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. \nSpecial thanks to Umpqua Bank for their sponsorship support\, and to the NAACP Vancouver for joining us as our promotional partner for our 2024 series of speaker events.

SUMMARY:Hey Neighbor: Person-to-Person Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join The Historic Trust for the popular person-to-person conversation event “Hey Neighbor” modeled on “36 Questions for Civic Love” \nIn Spring 2023 and 2024\, The Historic Trust hosted “Hey Neighbor\,” conversation events featuring The 36 Questions for Civic Love. This October\, join us for another round! Using the same format with some new questions sprinkled in\, you and a partner will ask each other a series of questions\, listen to each other’s answers\, and explore common ground. \nWhat is civic love? It’s love for this place we call home\, expressed by looking out for each other\, connecting with our neighbors\, volunteering for causes we care about\, and honoring our differences as we celebrate our common bonds. \nIn 1997\, psychologist Arthur Aron explored whether love between two perfect strangers could be accelerated by asking each other a set of 36 questions. The 36 Questions for Civic Love were adapted from those questions for a new kind of experiment—aimed at helping us all fall in civic love\, to reconnect with our home and our neighbors. \nWhether you’ve joined us for one or both of the past events\, or this is your first visit\, one of the wonderful things about “Hey Neighbor” is that it’s a new conversation every single time. We hope you’ll join us to learn more about your community\, yourself\, and our connection to this wonderful place we call home. \nSpace is limited. REGISTER HERE!

SUMMARY:Coming Home: How the Nez Perce Tribe Regained Their Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Trust and Humanities Washington partner to present a discussion with Trevor James Bond.  \n\n\n\nBelongings deeply important to tribal communities are often housed in museums far away from those communities. In this talk\, hear the remarkable story of how the Nez Perce Tribe and their allies purchased the largest and oldest collection of Nez Perce material culture—including dresses\, shirts\, and other regalia—from a museum over 2\,000 miles away from their homeland.   \nIn this hopeful story of cultural resiliency and making amends for past injustices\, explore issues surrounding collection and curation\, and the changing relationships between museums and Native communities. It’s a story that transcends the efforts of one Northwest tribe to show how many indigenous communities are reuniting with their heritage.  \nTrevor James Bond (he/him) is the director of the David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities and the associate dean for digital initiatives and special collections at the Washington State University Libraries. He is the author of Coming Home to Nez Perce Country: The Niimiipuu Campaign to Repatriate Their Exploited Heritage\, a finalist for the 2022 Washington State Book Award for non-fiction. \nBond lives in Pullman. \nThis talk is presented in partnership with The Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service\, which educates citizens across the state about democratic institutions and public affairs\, and is based at Washington State University. For more information\, visit The Foley Institute’s website. \n\n\n\n\nClick HERE for details and registration information. This program is offered free of charge but seating is limited so register soon!\n\n\n\n  \nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver.

SUMMARY:Stomp and Shout: The Untold Story of Northwest Rock & Roll
DESCRIPTION:Northwest Rock & Roll’s historical highpoints are well documented—in the late 20th century\, Nirvana\, Soundgarden\, Pearl Jam\, and other grunge gods took the world by storm. Previously\, Seattle’s Queensrÿche and Heart had ruled the heavy metal realm. And prior to that\, The Wailers\, The Kingsmen\, Paul Revere and The Raiders\, and The Sonics had all fueled local teen dances with garage-rock versions of the region’s signature song\, “Louie Louie.” \nYet these iconic bands are only half the story. In this talk\, join author Peter Blecha to discover the lesser-known but vitally important bands and scenes that laid the foundation for what was to come—finally connecting all the dots between the fabled Northwest era of Ray Charles\, Quincy Jones\, and Jimmy Hendrix\, and the R&B-spiked roots of a distinct regional artform: the “Original Northwest Sound.” \nPeter Blecha (he/him) is the director of the Northwest Music Archives\, an award-winning author\, a founding curator at MoPop\, and a longtime staff historian at HistoryLink.org. Blecha’s newest book\, Stomp and Shout: R&B and the Origins of Northwest Rock and Roll\, draws on his deep knowledge as a leading expert on Pacific Northwest music history to chronicle both well-known and overlooked icons of the early Northwest Sound. \nBlecha lives in Seattle. \nClick HERE for details and registration information. This program is offered free of charge but seating is limited so register soon!\nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver.

SUMMARY:They Want Our Rhythm\, but Not Our Blues: African American Innovation through Pop Culture
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1732210461858{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The freedom often denied to African Americans to move and express themselves has meant that they have had to be especially creative in building their culture. The innovations created under oppression are often appropriated by the oppressor—they want our rhythm. And such culture and creativity has been forged from their everyday struggles—but they do not want our blues.   \nReflecting on music\, sports\, language\, food\, and even hair\, this talk calls audiences in beyond the rhythm to recognize the blues that made African American popular culture. It serves as a guide to appreciating the art of Black pop culture by understanding how and why African American culture was created\, and when and where it appears across multiple platforms of popular culture—never without a unique artisan style.  \nSpeaker Bio\nLaToya Brackett (she/her) is an associate professor of African American studies at the University of Puget Sound\, where she also serves as a member of the leadership team for the Race & Pedagogy Institute. A scholar with two degrees in Black studies\, one from Cornell University and the other from Michigan State\, she is an interdisciplinarian who centers the Black experience. \nBrackett lives in Tacoma. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited. Please reserve your spot HERE. \nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. Special thanks to the NAACP Vancouver for joining us as our promotional partner for our 2025 series of speaker events. We appreciate you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:And It Has Pockets! The Battle for Women's Clothing Equality
DESCRIPTION:How many times have you heard someone wearing women’s clothing exclaim\, “And it has pockets!” Comparisons have shown that modern garments designed for women have about half the storage space of clothing designed for men. From their invention\, pockets in women’s fashion have represented independence—so much so that in the 18th century\, laws were enacted to strip women of their personal liberty by making the contents of their pockets the property of their husband. The right to have pockets went hand-in-hand with the right to vote. And people today are still speaking out about the inequality between men’s and women’s clothing based on this simple storage system. \nJoin costume designer Diane Johnston to dig into the pockets of the past\, tracing the history of the humble pocket to determine if the battle for equality may still be decided by a few inches of extremely influential fabric. \nDiane Johnston (she/her) is a theatrical costume designer who has spent the past 33 years creating costumes for productions large and small throughout the region. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Costume Design and is a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. Johnston has always been fascinated with fashion history and the historic trends that find their way into our modern closets. She is currently designing costumes for Edmonds Driftwood Players. \nJohnston lives in Stanwood. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited. Please reserve your spot HERE. \nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. Special thanks to the NAACP Vancouver for joining us as our promotional partner for our 2025 series of speaker events. We appreciate you!
