After a one-mile hike (including about 100 stairsteps), volunteers will perform weeding and cleaning onsite. The location is the grounds of the historic station where about one million immigrants were processed between 1910 and 1940. After a lunch break, Grant Din '79, former staff at the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, will lead a tour of the former barracks, mess hall, and hospital including new exhibits in the latter two spaces. Bring a lunch and water; tools will be provided (if you have favorite gloves, tools, etc. feel free to bring them). We plan to take the 7:30 a.m. staff ferry and work from about 8:30 to 12 noon and tour around 1-3. Return ferries leave around 5. Affordable ($5) parking is down the street next to the CVS - put in 1599 Tiburon Blvd., Tiburon into your GPS. Breakfast and lunches you can take to the island are available from 7 a.m. on at Cafe Acri next to the ferry dock, but allow enough time to order and get your food.

Leadingham, ‘The Greenup Slave Revolt: Slavery, Environment, and Resistance at the Edges of the Southern Mountains’ This work uses a slave revolt that happened in northeastern Kentucky, on the banks of the Ohio River, in August 1829, to ask new questions about forced migration and environment in and through the southern mountains. The few extant sources that tell the story of this moment of resistance suggest that the people involved wielded knowledge about the natural world—in addition to physical violence—to struggle toward freedom in new and unfamiliar landscapes. false

At the same time, recent data showed that Oregon is the only state in the nation where students have fallen further behind after the influx of state and federal funds meant to help them catch up after the post-Covid emergency. Particularly stark were the widening test score gaps between wealthy school districts and those serving poorer, traditionally underserved students. Join a panel of experts for an essential conversation about the future of education funding in Oregon: Peyton Chapman, Principal of Lincoln High School Mark Hass, former Oregon State Senator Sarah Pope, Executive Director, Stand for Children Oregon Natalie Pate (moderator), K-12 Education Reporter and Producer at Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) Portland, OR — 1750 SW Salmon St false
