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. Special 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.  \n

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. Special 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.  \n \n  \n  \n

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!

SUMMARY:UFO Northwest: How Washington State Spawned the Men In Black
DESCRIPTION:On August 1\, 1947\, the tragic crash of a B-25 bomber in Washington State triggered an FBI investigation of “The Maury Island Incident”—an infamous Northwest UFO sighting\, and history’s first alleged encounter with the so-called “Men in Black.” \nThe FBI’s records from 1947\, which were sealed for decades\, reveal Cold War fears\, jurisdictional disputes\, cover-ups\, false confessions\, a courageous FBI Special Agent\, and the hands-on involvement of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. \nRelying on the FBI records\, this talk exposes a Washington story that shapes our current UFO narratives\, from 1950’s pulp magazines to the ubiquitous X-Files and Men in Black film franchises. Also examined: how the Northwest’s unique position in UFO history is challenged by others that assert contradictory narratives. \nSteve Edmiston (he/him) is a business and entertainment lawyer with Bracepoint Law\, and an indie film screenwriter and producer. Edmiston has keynoted for the Pacific Northwest History Conference\, Washington State Historical Museum\, McMenamins History Pubs\, film festivals\, conferences\, and business groups. He was the screenwriter and co-producer of “The Maury Island Incident\,” a short film chronicling the true story of Harold Dahl and his alleged 1947 sighting of a UFO over Puget Sound. \nEdmiston lives in Des Moines. \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 the 2025 series of speaker events. We appreciate you!

SUMMARY:See the Historic Vancouver Barracks in 3D!
DESCRIPTION:Major Jeff Davis (US Army\, retired) will be discussing and sharing stereoscopic images taken at Vancouver Barracks in the 1870s and 1880s by visiting photographers documenting the people and places where they lived. The technique of combining photographs to create a 3-dimensional effect\, or stereoscopy\, dates to 1838. In the decades before moving pictures and television\, people spent many evenings looking at large collections of stereoscopic images in their own homes. These collections frequently focused on architecture and events in faraway lands. \nMajor Davis grew up around the Vancouver Barracks\, where both he and his father served. He also served in Italy\, Japan\, Korea\, and at Ft. Lewis\, Washington. He deployed to Bosnia and twice to southwest Asia for Operation Enduring Freedom. A credentialed military historian\, he has written several books and papers on World War II\, the Global War on Terrorism\, and life at the Vancouver Barracks. \nThe program is free\, but seating is limited. Please register at jddavis@rocketmail.com. \nPhoto: Grant House\, courtesy of Major Davis
