Dreams & Dispossession Exhibit Opening @ Tacoma Historical Society
Tickets
Jan 27 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The Tacoma we know today was shaped by its origins as a railway terminus for the Northern Pacific Railway. The railroad brought new people, new industries, new opportunities, and new conflicts into the area. For good or ill, this event changed the lives of everyone living along Commencement Bay.
Dreams & Dispossession explores the stories of the individuals who were directly effected by these changes.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. for viewing. At 6:30 p.m., Ethelda Burke will speak on the experiences of her father, Edwin Dorsey, as an African-American railroad porter in the 1940s.
Event is free; donations at the door are welcomed.
