Student History Slam

Student History Slam

Are you interested in your local History or do you know someone who is? The Monterey Public Library, in partnership with the Western Flyer Foundation and the Cannery Row Company is excited to invite all students and history buffs to the 2nd Annual Student History Slam on April 30, 2022.

Steinbeck and Ricketts thought a lot about communities. Human communities, like the hard-working farmers in Salinas Valley, and animal communities, like the vibrant invertebrates that live in tide-pools, were common themes in their writing and research. One way to understand and participate in your community is to learn about its history

This program takes place on Zoom, or participants may join by phone. Registration closes an hour before the program. The Zoom access information will be sent to registered participants shortly before the program begins. Use of video camera and level of participation is determined by each person.
