County Historical Museum presents “The Union Makes Us Stronger”

In celebration of May Day—International Workers’ Day, the Clark County Historical Museum presents the next installment in its Speaker Series, “The Union Makes Us Stronger – Labor History in Clark County and the Pacific Northwest,” at 7 p.m. May 1 with historian Laurie Mercier, the Claudius O. and Mary W. Johnson Distinguished Professor of History at Washington State University Vancouver. She’ll explore how labor unions and working people have shaped the history of Clark County and the broader Pacific Northwest. Drawing from research and the museum’s exhibit, “Labor: A Working History,” she’ll reveal surprising stories about local workers—connecting regional struggles for better conditions and the eight-hour workday to global movements for workers’ rights. The lecture is free and open to everyone. Learn more at www.cchmuseum.org.
