How Do You Reconcile a Lynching? A Story of Justice and Redemption
2025-05-08 17:30 - 19:00 | Meese Auditorium, SOU, 1250 Siskiyou Boulevard, Ashland, OR, 97520
The event will focus on the life and legacy of Alonzo Tucker, Oregon’s most documented African American lynching victim, and the efforts to seek justice and reconciliation. Stewart will share insights on confronting historical injustices and fostering community healing.
“This story is not just about reconciliation; it’s about finding a way to heal and foster hope in our communities,” Stewart explains. “By confronting these painful narratives, we can begin to foster understanding and pave the way for a more just future.”
Gabi Johnsen, founder of Grants Pass Remembrance Project (GPRP) and Community Engagement Director of ORP, will join the discussion. A Q&A session will follow. The Ashland Sunrise Project invites community members, educators, and advocates to take part in this conversation on historical justice in Oregon.

Taylor Stewart is the Founder and Executive Director of the Oregon Remembrance Project (ORP). He is a lifelong Portlander and graduated from UP in 2018 with a degree in Communication and a Master’s in Social Work from PSU in 2021. Stewart started ORP in 2018 to help communities unearth stories of injustice and engage in the necessary truth telling and repair required to reconcile instances of historical harm. His work connects historical racism to its present-day legacies in order to inspire contemporary racial justice action. In what started as simply a way to memorialize an African American lynching victim named Alonzo Tucker, Stewart has grown to see the power of reconciliation to rectify further instances of historical injustice.
Gabrielle Johnsen is the Community Engagement Director with Oregon Remembrance Project and a core caretaker of Grants Pass Remembrance (the Sunrise Project in her community of Grants Pass). She has collaborated with Taylor Stewart since 2020 in the development of the Sunrise Project. This work embodies much of what she cares about – racial reconciliation, learning and growing together with neighbors, and supporting opportunities to see and hear the “others” in our lives and communities!

Irene Kai - The Journey
2025-06-06 - 2025-06-28 | Langford Art Gallery, 4850 South Pacific Hwy, Phoenix, OR, 97535, United States
Opening 06.06.2025 @ 5PM
Artist Reception with AAUW 06.14.2025 @ 3 PM
An internationally known artist, author, and speaker, Irene Kai was born and raised in Hong Kong and traveled extensively. She received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC and MFA from the Royal College of Art in London and currently teaches Painting and Design at the Rogue Community College. Her work has been shown in galleries in London, New York, Los Angeles, and southern Oregon. She posed for George Segal in 1976 and the sculptures of her image were in the Whitney Museum permanent collection. Irene designed the logo for the Culture of Peace Initiative, a United Nations Peace Messenger Organization, and her inspiring image hangs in the United Nations building in New York City. She Co-founded the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission and brought the World Peace Flame to Ashland from Wales.
lrene’s award-winning books – What Do You See? – an experiential book. The Golden Mountain: Beyond the American Dream has been chosen for course studies in major universities, an autobiography of four generations of women in her family, a journey spanning over a hundred years of how their influences shaped her life. The healing process of writing this book sets the women free. By having the courage to speak out about family secrets, Irene expresses her process of finding the light within through her paintings and her devotion to truth. To live in peace is to reconnect with our souls, speaking from our hearts. To find the courage to transcend culture, and to live authentically, but most of all, to love deeply.

What would it take for people to truly and thrive here?
What to expect: Facilitated small and large group conversations to discover what we truly want.

Free Event | Registration Required

REGISTER HERE for the first gathering.
Why This Matters
Professor powell warned us about “conflict entrepreneurs” who profit from division. Our region faces real challenges: housing, economic stress, climate impacts, institutional distrust. We can keep working in silos, or we can choose radical collaboration.
Over 500 of us showed up on October 6th. Many more heard about the event and want to be involved. Now we can build on that momentum.
Next Steps
1. Register for the November 16th gathering
2. Forward this email to others who should join
ALL.TOGETHER.NOW.
From Hyper-Individualism to Radical Collaboration
Our Ashland region faces shared challenges–housing shortages, budget constraints, economic uncertainty, climate threats, educational pressures, political divides, etc.
For several months, a group of community leaders has been meeting to explore how we can face these challenges head-on while building connection and resilience throughout Southern Oregon.
The October 6th event with Professor powell represented the first public step in this multi-year, multi-generational, multi-cultural, collaboration to strengthen our community. We’re starting with Ashland during our first year, out ultimate hope is to branch out to our neighbors in Talent and Phoenix, ensuring we can create concrete and lasting solutions together.
