Memory and Public Space Unconference: Remembering the 2016 Forest Grove High School Walkouts and Latinx Student Activism
On May 19, 2016, over 600 students staged a walkout at Forest Grove High School in response to racially-charged incidents on campus. By lunch time, thousands of students from across Oregon had walked out in support of #StandUpFG, the hashtag used by Latinx youth activists to represent their movement. In this session, Israel Pastrana, 2021 history and culture guest curator at Five Oaks Museum and PCC Ethnic Studies professor, will share about the upcoming museo ambulante (walking museum) and how to connect with Latinx youth activism in the classroom.
Presented by Five Oaks Museum.
This program is part of Memory and Public Space: An Educator UnConference.
