The Monterey Public Library\, in partnership with the Western Flyer Foundation and the Cannery Row Company is excited to invite all historians and history buffs to the Third Annual History Slam on May 7\, 2022.\n\nThis year is an exciting year as we are eagerly preparing for the return of the Western Flyer\, the boat that John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts chartered for their journey to the Sea of Cortez in 1940. In 2015\, our community partner\, Western Flyer Foundation\, acquired the Western Flyer and has been working on its restoration. In late summer\, the Flyer will make its way down the coast from Port Townsend\, Washington to Monterey\, California!\n\nTo build connections with local libraries\, historic societies\, and communities in anticipation of the Flyer’s arrival\, we are inviting community members to participate in our third annual History Slam! Participating community members will have an opportunity to share their community’s local history\, while learning about other communities along the West Coast.\n\nFor general information and questions\, please contact Sean Briscoe at briscoe@montrey.org or (831) 646 -2091\n\n\n\nThis 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.\n\n \n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n \n \n \n Time of Day\n \n \n Presenter\n \n \n Topic / Title\n \n \n \n \n 10:00am -11:00am\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Director of MPL\n \n \n Inga Waite\n \n \n Welcome to the History Slam\n \n \n \n \n MC \n \n \n Emily Gottlieb\n \n \n Welcome to the History Slam\n \n \n \n \n Presenter 1\n \n \n Susan Shillinglaw\n \n \n Toni Jackson and Ed Ricketts: Partners and Visionaries\n \n \n \n \n Presenter 2\n \n \n Steve Hauk\n \n \n Judith Deim: From Steinbeck to Pátzcuaro\n \n \n \n \n Presenter 3\n \n \n Amy Wu\n \n \n Untold Stories of Asians in California Agriculture\n \n \n \n \n 11:00-12:00pm\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation 4\n \n \n Michael Hemp\n \n \n Pacific Northwest’s Connections to Steinbeck’s Cannery Row\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 5\n \n \n Chris Chase\n \n History of the Western Flyer\n \n \n \n Presentation 6\n \n \n John Sanders\n \n \n Technological Innovation in the Ancient Pueblo of Monterey\, 1880\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 7\n \n \n Carol Marquart\n \n \n Steinbeck's Two Wives\n \n \n \n \n 12:00-1:00pm\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lunch Break\n \n \n \n \n \n Lunch Break (Film: Enduring Democracy: The Monterey Petition)\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 8\n \n \n Tim Thomas\n \n \n One Man Gathers What Another Man Spills: American Beauty\, Abalone\, more than an epicurean delight\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 9\n \n \n Jane Hill\n\n Humboldt Historic Society\n \n \n Wreck of the Milwaukee\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 10\n \n \n Karla Noyes\n \n \n Thomas Oliver Larkin\, the early life and professional activities of the man who would become the First Consul of the United States to Mexican California.\n \n \n \n \n 1:00-2:00pm\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation 11\n \n \n Larry Oda\n \n \n The Japanese in the Early Monterey Fishing Industry: One Family’s Experience\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 12\n \n \n Cameron Binkley\n \n \n History of the Sloat Memorial\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 13\n \n \n Rosemary Kennett\n \n \n Did James Fitzgerald find Eden in Monterey?\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 14\n \n \n Marte Thompson\n \n \n Maria Madariaga: The Lady in Lace of 17 Mile Drive\, a Story of Old Monterey\n \n \n \n \n 2:00-3:00pm\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation 15\n \n \n Nancy Wang\n \n \n Red Altar: The Story of Six Chinese Teens Who Started the Fishing Industry in the Monterey Bay Area\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 16\n \n \n Joe Novello\n \n \n Master Chief McAdams: Rolling a 36-Foot Motor Lifeboat in 1953\n \n \n \n \n Presentation 17\n \n \n Kiyoshi Yamauchi\n \n Between John Steinbeck and Between Pacific Tides\n \n \n\n\n\n\n ORGANIZER;CN="Brian Edwards":MAILTO:bedwards@monterey.org CATEGORIES: CONTACT;CN="Brian Edwards":MAILTO:bedwards@monterey.org STATUS:CONFIRMED UID:LibCal-8846198 URL:https://montereypl.libcal.com/event/8846198 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:BUSY BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER:-PT15M ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Reminder END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
