Third Thursdays: Mi Centro
Thursday, November 19, 2026, 5:30 – 8:00 PM
Washington State History Museum
FREE
Curated by Mi Centro, this month’s free Third Thursday program explores the traditions of labor and leisure within Latine communities and the role they have played in shaping generations of Washingtonians. Through conversation and shared stories, the program will reflect on the cultural practices, work, celebrations, and community spaces that continue to connect and sustain Latine communities across the state.
About the “We the People Lecture Series”
The “We the People Lecture Series” takes place on “Third Thursday” evenings when Washington State History Museum admission is free. The series invites everyone to explore what it means to be a Washingtonian and how that identity connects to the nation’s founding ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Each session will look at this idea from different perspectives, helping us see the many ways people understand and experience Washington’s story. The series will team up with local cultural groups, historical and heritage organizations, Tribal museums, and educators to encourage community participation and highlight the importance of sharing history. Programs will include a mix of talks, demonstrations, trivia, and performances that combine learning with fun, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
The “We the People Lecture Series” is a part of Washington State’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Learn more about how to get involved at: www.America250WA.org.
