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:Where Faith Meets Freedom: Jesus\, The Cross\, Liberation
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Black History Month\, the NAACP and the Clark County Historical Museum invite the community to a shared dinner and conversation centered on two foundational texts of Black theology: The Cross and the Lynching Tree by the Rev. Dr. James H. Cone and Jesus and the Disinherited by the Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman\, both part of the NAACP X CCHM joint reading list.\n\n\n\n\nWhere Faith Meets Freedom: Jesus\, the Cross\, and Liberation\nDate: Sunday\, February 15 Time: 6:00 PM\nClark County Historical Museum\, 1511 Main St\, Vancouver\, WA 98660\, USA\n\nTogether\, these works confront the brutal realities of racial violence\, oppression\, and suffering while proclaiming a faith rooted in dignity\, resistance\, and liberation. Cone connects the crucifixion of Jesus to the terror of lynching inAmerica\, insisting that the cross must be understood through the lived experiences of Black suffering and survival. Thurman speaks directly to those pushed to the margins\, presenting Jesus as a spiritual anchor for the disinherited\, those whose backs are against the wall and whose faith becomes a source of courage\, nonviolence\, and freedom. \nThe conversation will be guided by: \n\nRev. Michael Jones Jr.\, Vice President\, NAACP\nRev. Dr. Joyce Smith\, Pastor\, Community AME Zion Church\, Vancouver\, WA\nPastor Byron Harris\, Pastor\, Vancouver Heights United Methodist Church\n\nDuring this community conversation\, we will examine how these texts speak to one another\, explore where faith and freedom intersect\, and reflect on their relevance to our present moment\, personally\, spiritually\, and socially. \nRegistration strongly encouraged to secure a spot! Register here. \nSunday Feb 15\, 2026 ⋅ 6:30pm – 7:45pm (Pacific Time – Vancouver) \nLocation\nClark County Historical Museum\, 1511 Main St\, Vancouver\, WA 98660\, USA

SUMMARY:History on Tap: Liberty Factory - A Look at the Kaiser Shipyards
DESCRIPTION:The Clark County Historical Museum is pleased to welcome back author and maritime journalist Peter Marsh for the next installment of its popular History on Tap series. Marsh will present “Liberty Factory: A Look at the Kaiser Shipyards” on Thursday\, February 19\, 2026\, at 7:00 PM at the Old Liberty Theater in Ridgefield. \nIn this engaging presentation\, Marsh will explore the remarkable story of Henry Kaiser’s World War II shipyards in the Pacific Northwest and their profound impact on the ports and communities of the lower Columbia River between 1940 and 1945. Drawing from rare photographs\, personal diaries\, and firsthand accounts\, Marsh brings to life the region’s vital—yet often overlooked—role in what President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously called the “Arsenal of Democracy.” \nBorn in 1947 in Greenwich\, England\, Peter Marsh developed an early passion for boats and maritime history. After emigrating to the United States in 1972\, he settled in Portland and built a 20-foot sailboat by hand\, exploring much of the Pacific Northwest. These adventures launched a successful career in marine journalism\, where Marsh covered regional maritime life from fishing and recreation to commercial shipping. \nIn 1996\, Marsh inherited an extensive archive of papers and photographs from Larry Barber\, the late marine editor of The Oregonian. A visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy inspired Marsh to take a closer look at Barber’s wartime materials\, uncovering a rich and detailed record of Oregon and Southwest Washington’s shipbuilding efforts during World War II. Over the past several years\, Marsh has shared this research with audiences throughout the lower Columbia River region\, helping to revive interest in the area’s critical contribution to the war effort. \nHistory on Tap is presented through the generous support of Old Liberty Theater\, Ridgefield Main Street\, and Building Industry Association of Clark County. Admission is $5 for the general public and free for CCHM members\, veterans\, and active-duty military personnel. Registration is required and available here.
