Letitia Carson: An Enduring Spirit of Hope and Freedom
Letitia Carson shares the story of its namesake, a pioneer who transitioned from enslaved woman to landowner and matriarch, finding opportunity despite her vulnerable status in Oregon. The exhibit was designed for retractable banners that allowed for flexible arrangement depending on the venue.



Custom illustrations referenced Black women (there is no known surviving imagery of Carson herself), native flora and fauna, and the landscape of the two counties where she settled.
