The discussion dovetails with Women's History Month and will start at noon March 4. In the second event, The Vanport Flood will be the topic of discussion at the second annual Jackson Forum March 6 from 10 a.m. to noon, also at PCC Cascade's Terrell Hall, Room 122. The city, at one time responsible for housing nearly 50,000 people after construction was completed in 1943, was underwater by nightfall. Fifteen people died in the flood. Both forums, sponsored by PCC and the Cascade Campus Community History Center, are free and open to the public.
Parking is also free.
Several other events are slated in May to discuss and remember the flood, as well as celebrate those who persevered. For more information contact the Cascade Campus Community History Center at 978-5198.
