SUMMARY:Resisting Erasure through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum\, Fourth Plain Forward\, and Humanities Washington invite the community to an engaging in-person conversation with Putsata Reang\, a member of the 2024-2025 Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau program\, on Thursday\, June 6\, 2024. This month’s CCHM Speaker Series presentation will take place at Fourth Plain Community Commons (3101 E 4th Plain Blvd Ste.101\, Vancouver\, WA 98661.) \nDoors open at 6:30 pm. Presentation begins at 7:00 pm. \nWhen Putsata Reang was eight years old\, she didn’t understand why her skin was brown when almost all of her classmates’ skin was white. So she put an eraser to her arm and began to rub\, hoping to become white. A decade later\, feeling disoriented by the dawning realization that she is gay\, Putsata put a razor to her wrist. But ultimately she was too ashamed to end her own life. That’s because when she was a baby\, and her family fled war in her native Cambodia\, her mother had saved her life. \nToday\, an increasing number of Americans like Putsata are at risk of erasure because of external forces such as anti-LGBTQ+ legislation\, and internal forces\, such as shame and discrimination. Putsata discusses the dangers of dwelling on differences and encourages audiences to share their personal stories as an antidote to erasure. \nPutsata Reang (she/her) is an author and journalist whose debut memoir\, Ma and Me\, was awarded the 2023 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association prize for nonfiction and was recognized as a finalist for the 2023 Lambda Literary Award. Her writing has appeared in publications including the New York Times\, Ms. magazine\, Politico\, and The Guardian. Reang has held several prestigious residencies and was a fellow of the Jack Straw Writers program and Alicia Patterson Foundation for journalists. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series season is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. This month’s presentation is co-hosted with Fourth Plain Forward and brought to you by Humanities Washington. Admission is free and open to all. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Big Apples\, Big Business: How Washington Became the Apple State
DESCRIPTION:Why do so many apples in the grocery store look the same? And why do so many come from Washington? \nIn this talk\, explore how Washington became the top apple producing state in the country\, and how\, in the process\, it transformed apples into an industrialized commodity. Many regions in the West attempted to grow apples\, but in Washington\, big apples became big business thanks to the work of scientists\, investors\, irrigators\, railroad corporations\, marketers\, and apple growers. How does the history of Washington apples reflect larger changes happening in the American food system—changes that continue to affect our environment and the way we eat today? \nAmanda L. Van Lanen (she/her) is a Professor of History at Lewis-Clark State College and the author of The Washington Apple: Orchards and the Development of Industrial Agriculture. She earned a Ph.D. in history at Washington State University\, and blogs about food history at historyreheated.com. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series season is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. This month’s presentation is co-hosted with Fourth Plain Forward and brought to you by Humanities Washington and the League of Women Voters of Clark County. Admission is free and open to all. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:And It Has Pockets! The Battle for Women's Clothing Equality
DESCRIPTION:How many times have you heard someone wearing women’s clothing exclaim\, “And it has pockets!” Comparisons have shown that modern garments designed for women have about half the storage space of clothing designed for men. From their invention\, pockets in women’s fashion have represented independence—so much so that in the 18th century\, laws were enacted to strip women of their personal liberty by making the contents of their pockets the property of their husband. The right to have pockets went hand-in-hand with the right to vote. And people today are still speaking out about the inequality between men’s and women’s clothing based on this simple storage system. \nJoin costume designer Diane Johnston to dig into the pockets of the past\, tracing the history of the humble pocket to determine if the battle for equality may still be decided by a few inches of extremely influential fabric. \nDiane Johnston (she/her) is a theatrical costume designer who has spent the past 33 years creating costumes for productions large and small throughout the region. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Costume Design and is a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. Johnston has always been fascinated with fashion history and the historic trends that find their way into our modern closets. She is currently the Theater Teacher at Snohomish High School. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series season is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. This month’s presentation is co-hosted with Fourth Plain Forward and brought to you by Humanities Washington and the League of Women Voters of Clark County. Admission is free and open to all. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.
