History Café is produced as a partnership between HistoryLink, Invisible Histories, and MOHAI.
Experience the challenges and mysteries of what happened to the 3,260 people buried at the Duwamish Cemetery (aka Seattle’s Potter’s Field) when it was erased in 1912 for the dredging and straightening of the Duwamish River. Learn about this untold history from South Seattle while engaging with the themes of industrial growth, marginalized perspectives and collective memory.
ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email [email protected] two weeks before the program.
Grab some food for thought–Gourmondo at MOHAI remains open until 7pm for every History Café.
If you can’t make it to the museum, tune in live on the MOHAI YouTube channel to virtually attend this event.
