VIRTUAL—Q&A Discussion with Jefferson County Historical Society and Dr. Caroline Collins, Curator of the exhibit Take Me to the Water: Histories of the Black Pacific. This new exhibition expands dominant narratives of U.S. maritime activity to include the many Black whalers, commercial mariners, fishers, explorers, soldiers, and sailors who traveled along the Pacific Coast and traversed the high seas from the 16th century to the mid-20th century. Take Me to the Water tells the stories of these mariners, their impact in shaping the American Pacific, and their legacy in the context of the development of society and identity. Importantly, this exhibition recenters the relationship between Black folks, water, and ships.
