The “Oregon Transformed” series considers long-term im- pacts of World War II in lo- cal regions around the state within broad thematic frame- works. Presenters in Cannon Beach will address the theme of “consent and dissent” by discussing subjects, including “conscientious objectors” who lived and worked on the coast during the war; the attack on Fort Stevens and its treatment by policymakers and the me- dia; and the work of tribes during the war and their termi- nation in the post-war period. Panelists will offer carefully prepared presentations, leav- ing plenty of time for audience questions and discussions. This program is presented in association with the Oregon His- torical Society’s exhibit “WWII: A World at War, A State Trans- formed” and the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum’s exhibit “WWII on the Oregon Coast” which celebrates the 70th anniversary of the end of war by exploring the events and emo- tions of a state at war. Gifford is a historian of mod- ern American politics with a spe- cial interest in the dynamics of Oregon’s political landscape. McQuiddy is the author of “Here on the Edge,” the story of how a small group of World War II conscientious objectors plowed the ground for the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.
