SUMMARY:A Search for Acceptance: The Joys and Challenges of Clark County's LGBTQ+ Community from Early Contact Through Today
DESCRIPTION:From the life and times of Kutenai spiritual leader\, Kocomenepeca\, through the waves of public “hysteria” over homosexuality throughout the 1900s and the tragedy of Nikki Kuhnhausen in 2019\, Clark County’s lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender and queer/questioning population has long found themselves the target for criminalization\, victimization\, and erasure. Yet\, in spite of the challenges they have built a strong and vibrant community in Clark County that celebrates its rich history. With each setback\, they have continued to persevere and push for the protections and rights afforded the “straight” community. In this talk\, April will look at the history of the LGBTQ+ community in Clark County – both their struggles and their victories.

SUMMARY:The Historic Music Preservation Project: Preserving Historic Music for Future Generations
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum and the Historic Music Preservation Project (HMPP)\, are excited to have Sammuel Murry-Hawkins\, HMPP Executive Director\, present “The Historic Music Preservation Project: Preserving Historic Music for Future Generations” for this month’s CCHM Speaker Series. The event will occur on Thursday\, May 4\, 2023 in person at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660). Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nThe Historic Music Preservation Project is dedicated to the preservation and cataloging of historic popular dance sheet music published between 1880 and 1955. \nThe organization is the sole curator of the historic Herman Kenin Dance Band Library\, a 4000+ title collection once in the possession of the famous Portland dance band leader. \nThe Historic Music Preservation Project’s commitment to introducing this music to a new audience is achieved through the performance of The Ne Plus Ultra Jazz Orchestra\, an 11 piece ensemble which presents this music exactly as it was heard in its heyday. The organization also presents a quartet\, Ensemble Gitane\, performing music from the collection is the hot jazz style of Django Reinhardt. \nSammuel’s musical interests were cultivated as a child. At age 10 his parents purchased a flute for the budding musician\, and this would remain his primary instrument until age 25\, when Sammuel purchased his first banjo ukulele. With this controversial conversion from classical culture to an instrument better suited to the comic tunes of the 1920s\, it became obvious that a period of music hitherto unknown to the young man would shape his musical career as well as his personal life. Classically trained in voice in addition to flute\, Sammuel’s period sound has been influenced largely by Joey Nash\, Rudy Vallee\, and Russ Colombo. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission and League of Women Voters of Clark County. General admission is $5; seniors and students are $4; children under 18 are $3; and the evening is free for CCHM members\, veterans\, and active-duty military personnel. \nAttendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:I am Also Entitled to be Recognized: The Journey of Moses Williams\, Buffalo Soldier
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum kicks off its 2023 History on Tap season at the Kiggins Theatre on Thursday\, Apr. 20\, 2023 with historian Gregory P. Shine presenting “I am Also Entitled to be Recognized: The Journey of Moses Williams\, Buffalo Soldier.” The program will explore the life\, military service\, and Pacific Northwest connections of Sgt. Moses Williams – a decorated Buffalo Soldier and Medal of Honor recipient – and share new research that sheds light on key turning points in Williams’ fascinating life. \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nWilliams\, a nineteenth century U.S. Army soldier who served in the Ninth U.S. Cavalry – one of four all-African American regiments known as Buffalo Soldiers – and at several western posts as an ordnance sergeant\, is buried in the Vancouver Barracks post cemetery. As Shine’s program will illustrate\, Williams’ journey from rural Louisiana\, through assignments at remote forts in Texas\, Oklahoma\, New Mexico\, Arizona\, Colorado\, Nebraska\, and Oregon\, reveals much about the history of the American West. \nGregory P. Shine is a historian\, writer and educator who has been connecting people to the history of the American West for over 30 years.

SUMMARY:Hidden Histories: The South Vietnamese Side of the Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum and Humanities Washington\, as part of the 2023 CCHM Speaker Series\, are excited to have Julie Pham bring her impactful presentation “Hidden Histories: The South Vietnamese Side of the Vietnam War” to Southwest Washington. The event will occur on Thursday\, April 6\, 2023 in person at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660). Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nThe Vietnam War is seen by much of the Western world as being fought between the Americans and North Vietnamese Communists\, with the South Vietnamese largely absent. Yet many Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the war served in the South Vietnamese military\, and there is little recognition and understanding of their contributions and role in the war. In fact\, in American and Vietnamese Communist histories\, the South Vietnamese are painted as corrupt\, apathetic sidekicks to the Americans. How did the South Vietnamese military really experience the Vietnam War? Historian Julie Pham draws from interviews she conducted with 40 South Vietnamese military veterans in the United States\, and illuminates how people can remember historical events differently. \nJulie Pham (she/her) is the CEO of CuriosityBased\, a consulting practice focused on fostering curiosity in the workplace. Her family owns Northwest Vietnamese News. She published Their War: The Perspectives of the South Vietnamese Military in the Words of Veteran-Emigres in 2019. She earned her PhD in history from the University of Cambridge as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. \nPham lives in Seattle. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Humanities Washington\, Clark County Historic Preservation Commission\, and the League of Women Voters of Clark County. Thanks to support from Humanities Washington this event is free to the public. \nAttendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org. \nAbout Humanities Washington\nHumanities Washington is a nonprofit organization dedicated to opening minds and bridging divides by creating spaces to explore different perspectives. For more about Humanities Washington\, visit www.humanities.org. \nAbout the Speakers Bureau Program\nIn communities throughout Washington State\, Speakers Bureau presenters give free public presentations on history\, politics\, music\, philosophy\, spiritual traditions\, and everything in between. \nTheir roster of over 30 Speakers Bureau presenters is made up of professors\, artists\, activists\, historians\, performers\, journalists\, and others—all chosen not only for their expertise\, but also for their ability to inspire discussion with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nOn the heels of the ratification of the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote in 1920\, feisty Ruth Karr McKee gathered Vancouver’s key women activists to found the League of Women Voters of Clark County (LWVCC).
