\nWars of 1898 and Seattle’s Volunteer Park<\/h2>\n

A community event on May 7, 2022<\/h3>\n

Volunteer\u00a0Park Trust and UW\u2019s Southeast Asia Center and Center for Global Studies invite you to\u00a0Volunteering\u00a0for\u00a0Empire: The Wars of 1898 and Seattle’s\u00a0Volunteer\u00a0Park<\/strong>, a presentation and discussion\u00a0centered on a memorial plaque located near the water tower in the park that was recently removed due\u00a0to concerns about its accuracy.<\/p>\n

Admission is free and tickets can be obtained at\u00a0Eventbrite<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Volunteer\u00a0Park was originally \u201cCity Park,\u201d and was renamed in 1901 to honor the veterans of the War of\u00a01898 (also known as the Spanish-American War). The commemorative plaque installed in 1953\u00a0described that war as a war of liberation for the peoples of the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. But history no longer sees, and many people at the time did not see, this war as one of liberation, but rather\u00a0one of imperial conquest.<\/p>\n

The program will discuss why the memorial plaque was problematic in the context of the history of the\u00a0war and its aftermath. It will also examine larger questions, such as how racism has influenced and\u00a0shaped American foreign policy, and how we grapple with the consequences and outcomes of American\u00a0wars.<\/p>\n

It will feature a presentation by Abe Ignacio, co-author of \u201cThe Forbidden\u00a0Book,\u201d a history of the war told through contemporary political cartoons. University of Washington\u00a0Department of History Professors Vicente Rafael and Ileana Rodriguez-Silva will discuss the wars and\u00a0their connection to\u00a0Volunteer Park in a panel moderated by Professor Christoph Giebel of the Jackson\u00a0School of International Studies.<\/p>\n
