SUMMARY:CCHM Speaker Series: How America Talks (Differently) About Slavery
DESCRIPTION:CCHM Speaker Series Presents: How America Talks (Differently) About Slavery\nThe Clark County Historical Museum is proud to present the next installment of its Speaker Series\, How America Talks (Differently) About Slavery\, on Thursday\, February 5\, 2026\, at the Clark County Historical Museum. \nSince colonial times\, religious and political divides have shaped how Americans discuss and interpret the history of slavery. From The New York Times’ 1619 Project to the Trump administration’s 1776 Report\, competing visions of race and slavery reflect long-standing tensions between critiquing and celebrating America’s past. \nIn this timely and thought-provoking talk\, attendees will explore the ongoing debates surrounding the history of slavery and how these conversations continue to influence education\, politics\, religion\, and culture. The presentation will examine how struggles over historical memory extend beyond the classroom into the public sphere\, revealing the central role these debates play in America’s fractured civic life and national identity. \nThe evening will feature guest speaker R. Charles Weller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of History (Career) at Washington State University and Senior Research Fellow at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Dr. Weller’s work focuses on religious-cultural identity and relations in Western-Asian and world history. He has published extensively in both English and Kazakh and is currently working on a multi-volume study examining how Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic sacred law traditions have shaped American legal heritage. Dr. Weller resides in Redmond\, Washington. \nAdmission to this program is free and open to the public. However\, space is limited\, and advance registration is required to ensure a seat. Register here. \nThis program is made possible with generous support from Humanities Washington\, the Vancouver NAACP Branch 1139 – B\, and the Historic Preservation Commission. \n

SUMMARY:CCHM Speaker Series: Hidden Layers: Women’s Undergarments and How They’ve Shaped Ladies’ Liberties
DESCRIPTION:What do corsets\, petticoats\, bloomers\, and modern foundations have in common? \nThey tell the story of women’s lives\, liberties\, and changing roles in society. \nJoin the Clark County Historical Museum for Hidden Layers: Women’s Undergarments and How They’ve Shaped Ladies’ Liberties\, an engaging and entertaining Speaker Series presentation that explores how fashion has both restricted and liberated the female body over time. \nFrom garments designed to constrain movement to innovations that prioritize comfort and freedom\, women’s undergarments have long reflected society’s expectations around modesty\, beauty\, and independence. Blending humor with historical insight\, this talk “pulls back the layers” to reveal how intimate apparel mirrors broader movements for gender equality and social change. \nThe program is presented by Diane Johnston\, a theatrical costume designer with more than 35 years of experience creating costumes for productions throughout the region. Johnston holds an MFA in costume design and is a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is required as seating is limited. Register here. \nThis program is made possible with generous support from Humanities Washington\, the Camas Public Library\, and the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: The American Revolution's End and an Empire's Beginning
DESCRIPTION:The Clark County Historical Society presents Humanities Washington speaker Lawrence B. A. Hatter for the May installment of its Speaker Series. \n“Could the American Revolution have been both a fight for human liberty—and for empire and dominance?” \nHistorian Lawrence Hatter explores the striking duality at the heart of the Revolutionary era. Audiences will encounter a generation that secured historic victories for universal human rights while simultaneously pursuing conquest and expansion. The program examines pivotal moments such as the Battle of Fallen Timbers\, where a U.S. victory over a Native confederacy opened the door to continued invasion of Indigenous lands. \nAs the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches\, this program invites reflection on how the nation can celebrate the Founders’ achievements while reckoning with the complexities of their legacy. \nPresented by the Clark County Historical Society in partnership with the National Park Service. \nSponsored by Humanities Washington and the Historic Preservation Commission.\nMedia sponsor: The Columbian. \nDate: Thursday\, May 7\, 2026Doors Open: 6:00 PMProgram Begins: 7:00 PM \nLocation:Fort Vancouver Visitor Center1501 E Evergreen BlvdVancouver\, WA 98661 \nAdmission: Free (Registration required) \n
