SUMMARY:Exhibition: The Yasui Family: An American Story
DESCRIPTION:Members of the Yasui family were among the millions of immigrants who came to the United States seeking new opportunities during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Like many Issei (first-generation Japanese immigrants)\, they experienced racism and oppression; state and federal laws prevented Japanese immigrants from owning land\, and anti-Japanese organizations sought to strip Nisei (second-generation Japanese Americans) of their birthright citizenship. Yet Nikkei (Japanese immigrants and their descendants) like the Yasui family persisted in establishing roots in Oregon\, starting families and businesses\, and shaping the social and economic fabric of the communities where they lived. \nFollowing December 7\, 1941\, when the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor during World War II\, the U.S. government forcibly removed over 110\,000 Nikkei — including U.S. citizens — from their homes and sent them to concentration camps\, often in harsh\, remote areas. After the war\, many members of the Yasui family returned to Oregon\, although some incarcerees chose not to return home due to persistent racism in their communities. \nWhile the Yasui family endured racism and incarceration\, they also shared a commitment to equal justice through engagement with the local\, state\, and national forces that determined — and withheld — their civil rights. Through photographs\, personal journals\, documents\, and objects\, this exhibition explores how one Japanese American family’s story reflects the complexity of the American story. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nService animals welcome

SUMMARY:Exhibit: “The Nez Perce in Oregon: Removal and Return”
DESCRIPTION: The Nez Perce in Oregon: Removal and Return puts the oft-told story of the Nez Perce War and Chief Joseph into national and Oregon context. The Nez Perce today are descendants of tribal peoples living in the Intermountain west for millennia. Recent archeological findings at Coopers Ferry on the Salmon River put human habitation back to 16\,000 years ago; there is a Nez Perce name for the site. The Nez Perce\, who befriended and helped Lewis and Clark on their journey\, had lands taken by treaty and by homesteader encroachment – and finally by war. Nez Perce were subjected to boarding schools\, allotment\, and other assimilationist efforts. But the people are resilient\, and the Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland\, a nonprofit with tribal and local representatives\, has a dance arbor and a Longhouse on 320 acres near the town of Wallowa; Tribal Fisheries is restoring salmon runs in Eastern Oregon; and the Nez Perce Tribe owns land in the Wallowa. \nThis exhibit runs Sept. 29 through Oct. 30 and was one of three exhibits that were awarded Capitol History Gateway exhibit sponsorships in the first year of the program. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nAccessible parking\nWheelchair-accessible venue

SUMMARY:Consider This: Equality and the Constitution with Akhil Reed Amar
DESCRIPTION:Join Oregon Humanities for a conversation with Akhil Reed Amar\, one of the country’s leading thinkers on constitutional law. We’ll explore how equality has been a core part of our laws\, history\, and self-understanding\, and consider how we strive toward this ideal today. We’ll also dig into the arguments and assumptions that informed the U.S. Constitution\, how it has evolved over the past 238 years\, and what the future may hold for our nation’s most basic laws. \nAmar teaches constitutional law at Yale University. He is the author of several books about constitutional law and history\, including America’s Unwritten Constitution\, The Constitution Today\, and\, most recently\, Born Equal: Remaking America’s Constitution\, 1840-1920. \nThe event will be streamed live on YouTube and at public viewing parties in Clatskanie and La Grande. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue
