SUMMARY:Consider This: What Democracy Needs with Hélène Landemore
DESCRIPTION:Join Oregon Humanities on April 7 at 7pm for a conversation with Hélène Landemore\, author of Politics Without Politicians\, on what democracy must become to meet the complexity\, speed\, and scale of today’s world. As democratic institutions in the U.S. and around the world come under increasing strain\, Landemore invites us to consider what it would take to realize a government that’s truly by\, of\, and for the people. How might technology open up new possibilities for self-rule and what dangers might it pose? What role should elections\, politicians\, and representative institutions play in a democratic future? And what is the relationship between the legal and procedural side of democracy and the culture that democracy requires and helps to shape? \nThis conversation is part of the 2025–26 Consider This series\, Beyond 250. 2026 will be the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, and we’re looking at what this milestone means: How do we think about and experience equality\, freedom\, independence\, tyranny\, justice\, union\, and other ideas central to the Declaration and to our nation’s understanding of itself? How has the Declaration shaped the country we live in today\, and how might we shape its future? \nTickets are $15 and can be purchased through the venue website. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Centennial Edition of The Toledo Incident of 1925 with Author Ted Cox
DESCRIPTION:Join author Ted Cox on April 18 for a presentation of his newly revised centennial edition of The Toledo Incident of 1925: Three Days That Made History in Toledo\, Oregon. Book signing to follow\, and books will be available for purchase at the event. This event is free and open to the public but registration is requested. \nIn July 1925\, the Pacific Spruce Company brought Japanese laborers to Toledo to work the green chain\, a particularly dangerous step in the lumber mill process. Only two days after their arrival\, town residents formed a mob and violently expelled them. The Toledo Incident is the definitive book detailing this incident\, what led to it\, and the lawsuit brought — and won — by the Japanese workers. \nThe centennial edition documents a federal district court jury verdict in 1926 that affirmed that lawful resident aliens\, including immigrants ineligible for U.S. citizenship\, possessed enforceable protections and that those rights could be upheld through monetary judgments. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nService animals welcome

SUMMARY:Oregon Folklife Residency: Traditional Basketry and Weaving Demonstrations with Sara Barton (Hines)
DESCRIPTION:The National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center (NHOTIC)\, with support from the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation\, will host an “Oregon Folklife Residency\,” a seven-month partnership with the Oregon Folklife Network. \nCrossroads Carnegie Art Center\, the friends organization for NHOTIC\, partnered with the Oregon Folklife Network to develop a plan to bring Oregon Cultural Keepers to Eastern Oregon to share their traditions in 2026 as part of the America 250 Oregon celebrations. \nThe first folk residency will take place April 23 to April 25\, 2026\, featuring Sara Barton (Hines) who is a traditional basketmaker. Her ancestry is a mix of Mono Lake Paiute and Yosemite Miwuk\, and she assists Burns Paiute in preserving their basket and cradleboard traditions. \nSchedule:  \nApril 24: Demonstration of willow basket weaving \nApril 25: Demonstration of Tule or Cattail weaving \nApril 26: Demonstration of “Rabbit Nets\,” a newer weaving technique \nAbout Sara Barton (Hines) \nRaised in the Mono Lake area of California\, east of Yosemite National Park\, Sara Barton comes from a long line of basketmakers. Her tribal ancestry is a mix of Mono Lake Paiute and Yosemite Miwuk. When Sara moved to Burns\, she came to know Minerva Soucie\, a master basketmaker on the Burns Paiute reservation whose work was known throughout Oregon. As their friendship grew\, Minerva began to share stories of her people\, especially when they were gathering willow and cattails (tullies) together. Minerva’s hope was that her people would continue to make cradleboards. Perhaps she sensed Sara was the person to ensure that would happen. \nWhen Sara took Minerva’s cradleboard-making class\, she was transformed. Cradleboards soon became a passion for her. Sara has now become a teacher to the Burns Paiute people\, helping them renew their basket and cradleboard-making traditions. Sara also occupies her time with other types of handwork. Her regalia\, worn for dancing and public speaking\, was nine years in the making. Sara worked on different facets over time\, including the dress itself\, the belt\, fan\, etc. Her buckskin dress is embellished with Olivella\, bull pine\, and abalone shell accent pieces. Sara cut and polished the abalone herself. The necklace\, beaded in a lace pattern by her cousin\, took 100 hours to complete. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nAccessible parking\nService animals welcome

SUMMARY:Lecture: The American Revolution – An Enduring Paradox
DESCRIPTION:Join historian William G. Robbins for a lecture on The American Revolution – An Enduring Paradox on April 30\, 2026. He will explore the ideals and contradictions in the Declaration of Independence as we contemplate the 250th anniversary of the signing of this important document. \nThomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal\,” but in 1776 this ideal did not apply to many groups\, including enslaved people\, women\, and Native Americans. Abraham Lincoln later argued the phrase was meant as a future goal\, while the document itself mainly justified independence by listing grievances against King George III. Despite its powerful ideals\, the Declaration included contradictions—such as its treatment of Native Americans—and its promise of equality remains something the United States continues striving to achieve. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nAccessible parking\nService animals welcome\nSensory-friendly accommodations\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: “Master Penworks of Tom Stefopoulos: The Hellenic Artist of the Lovejoy Columns”
DESCRIPTION:Athanasios (Tom) Efthimiou Stefopoulos was a factory worker\, railroad man\, commercial artist\, and a champion penman. Art was his first love\, but pursuing this was difficult for a young immigrant in an adopted country where he did not even speak the language. In 1945\, he was employed by the Spokane\, Portland & Seattle Railroad to work as a crossing watchman under the Lovejoy Ramp of the Broadway Bridge in Portland\, Oregon. It was here that the artist created the iconic “Lovejoy Columns.” \nThis exhibition considers the range of Stefopoulos’s art\, from pen drawings to the murals that graced the Lovejoy Columns. Despite a life that was characterized by movement and synthesis\, the Lovejoy Columns represent a sense of belonging to a specific place — in this case\, to Oregon. Stefopoulos’s art gives insight into how the artist envisioned himself in this new home. \nThis exhibit by the Hellenic American Cultural Center and Museum runs May 5\, 2026\, through June 4\, 2026\, and was awarded a sponsorship by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nAccessible parking\nWheelchair-accessible venue

SUMMARY:Lecture: The American Revolution – An Enduring Paradox
DESCRIPTION:Join historian William G. Robbins for a lecture on the enduring paradox of the American Revolution on May 16\, 2026. He will explore the ideals and contradictions in the Declaration of Independence as we contemplate the 250th anniversary of the signing of this important document. \nThomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal\,” but in 1776 this ideal did not apply to many groups\, including enslaved people\, women\, and Native Americans. Abraham Lincoln later argued the phrase was meant as a future goal\, while the document itself mainly justified independence by listing grievances against King George III. Despite its powerful ideals\, the Declaration included contradictions — such as its treatment of Native Americans — and its promise of equality remains something the United States continues striving to achieve. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nAccessible parking\nService animals welcome

SUMMARY:Oregon Connections: Race\, Citizenship\, and Labor
DESCRIPTION:OHS presents “Oregon Connections: A Conversation Series on the Right to be Free\,” an all-virtual program series featuring conversations among experts and with audience members. Although many of the decisions that affect people’s access to rights such as freedom of speech\, citizenship\, and due process are made at the federal level\, it is often on the local level that those freedoms are both exercised and oppressed — amid debates\, actions\, and inspirations on a global scale. \nDuring the months leading up to the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence\, the Oregon Connections series invites audiences to listen\, learn\, ask questions\, and consider some of the ways Oregonians have struggled for justice and freedom. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFederal policy linked whiteness to citizenship at the nation’s founding. Policy revisions have both broken and reinforced that link while redefining the parameters of both constructs. At the same time\, industries enslaved\, subjugated\, or recruited non-white laborers from across the globe\, often exploiting their lack of civic protections and prompting a range of political responses. Some civic and labor organizations advanced cross-racial labor solidarity while others doubled down on white rights. \nUntil 1952\, first-generation Asian-immigrant Oregonians faced local restrictive policies that were founded on the federal government’s citizenship restrictions and responded in a variety of ways — including compliance\, evasion\, and political and legal challenges. The landmark 1923 U.S. Supreme Court case of United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind\, which began in Oregon\, is emblematic of these competing political forces. Join the “Oregon Connections: Race\, Citizenship\, and Labor” discussion with historians Jennifer Fang and Johanna Ogden to learn more.
