3rd Annual Letitia Carson Symposium

Join us for the third annual Letitia Carson Symposium, for storytelling and celebration about one of Oregon’s first Black pioneers.In addition to short talks and conversation, we will honor special guests: the historians and storytellers who brought Letitia Carson’s story to light, and the educators whose students helped bring the Carson Donation Land Claim to life.The symposium is 5-8pm. Heavy appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

Optional field trip

At 2pm, we will lead a tour of the Carson Donation Land Claim and homestead site, in the Soap Creek Valley, ~10 miles north of Corvallis. The tour involves about 2 miles of walking on a path of grass and mulched vegetation that is uneven in places. We will provide van transportation to the site from a nearby parking area. Registered participants will receive detailed instructions ahead of time.You can sign up for the field trip when you fill out the supplemental questions after you register for the symposium with your name and email.
