Opening Jun 28 How We Show Up: An America 250 Exhibition explores the many ways Jewish
Oregonians have participated in public life – from building towns and holding office to advocating for civil rights, immigrant communities and social justice. Drawing from OJMCHE’s collections, this exhibition traces a long tradition of civic engagement shaped by leadership, service and advocacy. Visitors encounter stories of early Jewish mayors across Oregon, women who organized networks of immigrant support and social welfare, lawyers, activists and leaders who expanded civil rights and democratic participation. Presented as part of the national America 250 commemoration.
