About the event
Tacoma, like many seaport cities around the world, is an amalgam of peoples, ethnicities, and neighborhood influences overlaid on a place that has been home to indigenous people for hundreds of generations. This presentation will explore Tacoma’s patterns of immigration, how neighborhoods and institutions have been shaped by waves of newcomers and how journey stories have helped create the city’s cultural backstory and history.
Michael Sean Sullivan is a public historian, writer and historic preservationist. He has taught Pacific Northwest history at the University of Washington Tacoma for more than 20 years.
With special guest Robert Satiacum.
TICKETS ARE $7 AND MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE THROUGH MCMENAMINS ELKS TEMPLE.
