SUMMARY:Oregon Connections: Community Organizing
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\nOregonians have influenced local\, national\, and international policies through their organizing work. Their successful woman-suffrage campaign of 1912 was achieved through grassroots organizing throughout the state\, across class and race\, and by using modern media tactics. Later in the century\, Black Oregonians drew on long experience and strong local organizations to develop a multi-tactic strategy to lead a successful\, local South African Anti-Apartheid movement. Around the same time\, diverse groups of activists in communities throughout the state organized a widely supported campaign for peace and justice in Central America. Join historical experts for a discussion of the history of community organizing for freedom from oppression.

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.

SUMMARY:Oregon Connections: Tribal Sovereignty and Civil Rights
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\nFor thousands of years\, Native peoples in what is now the United States have exercised their sovereignty. Citizenship within the colonizing nation of the United States is a complex proposition for many Indigenous people. The United States Constitution recognizes treaties made by the nation\, including those made with sovereign Native nations within the country\, as the “supreme law of the land.” In Oregon\, tribal nations and people have asserted their rights while fighting to maintain their sovereignty within the new nation of the United States. Tribal scholars Bobbie Conner and Robert Kentta will discuss the historical intersections of U.S. citizenship and Native sovereignty in Oregon.

SUMMARY:Oregon Connections: Immigration and Deportation
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\nThe Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first policy to restrict immigration to the United States based on nation of origin and ethnicity\, making Chinese people the nation’s first “illegal aliens.” The act’s restrictions on travel and business-ownership by Chinese-ancestry Oregonians prompted creative responses to keep families and communities together. \nIn Oregon\, laborers and entrepreneurs with Latine heritage have been affected by\, and organized in response to\, successive federal policies of mass deportation since the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war between Mexico and the United States. As scholars Jerry Garcia and Chelsea Rose explain\, white supremacist ideology — along with ideas about rights related to family\, community\, culture\, property\, and wealth — have long been central to understanding the histories of immigration and deportation in Oregon. \nThis event is free but registration is required: https://orhs.ejoinme.org/OregonConnections
