Wednesday, May 6, 2026
As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, this lecture series invites our community to reflect on the evolving meaning of American democracy, past, present, and future.
This year, people across the nation are recognizing the county’s 250th anniversary. Join us for a four part series at Shoreline College to reflect on the evolving meaning of American democracy, past, present, and future.
In May, Fern Renville tells the stories of Indigenous influences on our founding documents and Shoreline Councilmember Chris Roberts and Dr. Kyle Kinoshita explore community activism and political participation.
In June, Dr Luther Adams - Free Man of Color partners with Peace Love and a Handshake organizers to highlight the history and value of cross border solidarity at Peace Arch Park.
The sessions conclude with Priya Frank and Sean Goode demonstrating how we can create hope, joy, and civic renewal for ourselves and communities.

Thank you SAN for posting this. I'm really looking forward to Fern Naomi Renville`s storytelling. Fern is a superb storyteller. For those locals who may know Roger Fernandes, Fern is his wife, and they are both storytellers. Fern is on the official Humanities Washington page.
Here is something to consider. We all know that ideas from ancient Greece and Rome, and even from the enlightenment period in Europe informed the American Constitution, but we must also consider input from the indigenous people living on the East coast. They were the only ones in this group who actually lived under a true democracy, and knew firsthand how it works.
