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:Free Admission to the Oregon Historical Society for Veterans Day
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Veterans Day\, all veterans and family members accompanying them will receive free admission to the Oregon Historical Society Saturday\, November 8 through Monday\, November 10. OHS will be closed on Tuesday\, November 11 in observance of the holiday. \nStudying history deepens our understanding of the past\, provides context for the present\, and can give us the courage to persevere through difficulty. We remember Oregon’s veterans\, those still with us and those who live in memory\, and we express our gratitude for the hope they carried for a better tomorrow. \nWe honor the service of all veterans by remembering the stories of Oregonians whose valiant efforts highlight their collective grit\, courage\, and hope for the future. Our current exhibition\, She Flies With Her Own Wings: Oregon’s Golden Age of Aviation\, highlights pilot Hazel Ying Lee\, who was born in Oregon in 1912 and was the first Chinese American woman to fly for the U.S. military\, serving as a WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) in World War II. Another pilot\, and later a legislator from Hood River\, Ken Jernstedt\, was known as the “First Ace Ever” for his service in the Flying Tiger Squadron during World War II. Jernstedt received the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1996 and said of his career in public service\, “My success in politics has really just been a natural instinct to do my part as a citizen.” \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue
