Have you heard of Letitia Carson? Come and learn about one of Oregon’s first Black settlers and how her recently uncovered story is being shared with OSU, local and statewide communities through the Letitia Carson Legacy Project (LCLP). The LCLP honors this remarkable woman, on the Benton County land that she settled, through storytelling, living history, land stewardship, community building, and healing. Retired SCARC director Larry Landis, “co-instigator” of the LCLP and the project’s historical consultant, will share Letitia’s story and discuss the broad range of work of the LCLP since its establishment in 2020.
Light snacks and beverages will be available!
