How America Talks (Differently) About Slavery
R. Charles Weller, Ph.D.
Thursday May 14, 2026 at 6pm via Zoom
REGISTER HERE TO GET THE LINKSince colonial times, religious and political divides have existed over how we talk about American slavery. From the New York Times’s 1619 Project to the Trump administration’s 1776 Report, competing visions of race and slavery embody long-standing tensions between critiquing and celebrating America’s history.
In this talk, explore the ongoing debates about the history of slavery. Hear about the modern tensions in education, politics, religion, and culture that reach beyond the classroom into the public domain, revealing how struggles over historical memory remain central to America’s fractured civic life and national identity.
This talk is part of our America 250 programming series, commemorating the Revolution’s anniversary and exploring legacies from new and surprising perspectives. These talks remind us that the American experiment is still unfolding. Says Dr. R. Charles Weller: “The American experiment is not as a settled triumph but a perilous, unfinished challenge: can a nation built on the democratic ideals of liberty, justice and equality for all survive honest reckoning with its own troubled past? Its fate turns on whether criticism is heard as treason or as one of democracy’s oldest means of self-correction, renewal, and moral growth.”
R. Charles Weller, PhD, is Associate Professor of History (Career), Washington State University, and Senior Research Fellow, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. His work focuses on religious-cultural identity and relations in Western-Asian and world history. Among numerous publications in both English and Kazakh, he is currently working on a four-volume study on how Jewish, Christian, and Islamic sacred law have shaped American national history and identity, particularly with respect to race, slavery, segregation and its Constitutional and national law traditions. He is also working on a related volume titled 1619 vs. 1776: Between Emancipation’s Democratic Promise and Slavery’s Systemic Afterlives.
Charles lives in Redmond.
This talk is presented in partnership with The Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service, which educates citizens across the state about democratic institutions and public affairs, and is based at Washington State University. For more information, visit The Foley Institute’s website.
Words, Writers, Southwest Stories is a free monthly speaker series that highlights local authors, historians, and voices to foster a deeper understanding of our community and its people.
This program, like other free programming, is supported by Sustaining Support and Public Free Access funds from 4Culture. Additional support from the City of Seattle Office of Arts and Culture, our sponsors, and from contributions from program participants. Thank you for your donations which support Local History.

IF YOU WANT TO DONATE MORE THAN 3 BAGS, PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS. We unfortunately don’t have the storage space or staff to accommodate large donations between drives.

Grief Support Groups
Grief groups are brave and safe spaces where bereaved people can share their stories and speak their loved one’s name without fear of getting advice, platitudes, or being shut out, no matter how long it’s been since their loved one’s passing. Every participant has dedicated time to speak about whatever they’d like, without judgment or interruption. Talking about our deceased loved ones in a supportive environment helps us remember them fully and helps us learn to carry the weight of their loss a little more gently.
These are ongoing, drop-in groups, but space is limited. Because of the sensitive nature of traumatic loss, the Thursday group is open only for those who are traumatic loss survivors. Learn more and register at listeningtogrief.com/groups. Contact Tamara at tamara@listeningtogrief.com with questions.

The Seattle Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society is pleased to announce a new class in West Seattle, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to the promotion of Scotland’s unique dance form in the Seattle metro area.
The class welcomes both families and individuals ages eight and over, regardless of experience. This weekly introduction to joyful jigs, lively reels and elegant strathspeys will take place at Fauntleroy Church on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-9:00 beginning September 9th. The Church, located at 9140 California Avenue SW, has ample parking and is conveniently located on the RapidRide C line and a half mile from the Fauntleroy ferry terminal. Comfortable clothing permitting ease of movement, non-marking shoes and a good sense of humor are the only essentials for the class. An individual’s first class is free. Thereafter per class fees will be $10 and $5 for ages 8-17.
Seattle Branch Chair, EB Van Otterloo, will be one of the class instructors. Of Scottish Country Dancing, Van Otterloo says, “There are so many things to love about this form of dance. It’s social, but you don’t need to bring a partner. It’s good exercise for your body and your mind, and most of all, it is such good fun.”
Blaine Peet, who has taught Scottish Country Dancing around the world, will join Van Otterloo in teaching the new class. “Once you have learned the basics, you can dance with people anywhere across the U.S. and Canada, and around the globe. It’s a great way to make new friends in different cultures, no matter whether you are in Europe, Asia or Australia.”
The Seattle Branch has regular social events and runs classes in the U-District, at the Phinney Neighborhood Center and in Edmonds while also promoting classes in Tacoma, Burien and Mount Vernon, among others. More information is available at rscds-seattle.org/classes

Understanding POTS: A Guide for Patients and Families with Dr. Megan Taylor, ND, FABNG
Thursday, May 21st at 12:30 pm PST
*recording available for those who can’t make it livePostural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system (often grouped under an umbrella condition called Dysautonomia) that affects how the body regulates heart rate, blood flow, and energy—especially under stress. The symptoms of POTS can be vague and hard to recognize, often leading to unnecessary delays in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Though largely invisible, this condition can be debilitating, leading to patients to limit their activities, avoid social events, reduce work hours, or even take long-term leave from work or school. But there is hope! Patients can experience real and meaningful improvement over time with the right combination of education, lifestyle strategies, and medical care.
Join Dr. Megan Taylor for this upcoming FREE webinar where she will share more about this condition as well as some supportive lifestyle strategies and tools to support it.

West Seattle Math Competition is a small group of middle school students who have been competing in the Math Counts competition throughout their middle school careers – and they have decided to put together their own math competition! They have designed their own website and have written all of the problems themselves. It is very impressive what they have done and myself and the other parents involved are very proud of them.
