www.harlandavidson.com elcome to Seattle for the one-hundred-second meeting of Welcomethe Organization of American Historians. If you have never visited Seattle, it’s a city with stunning scenery, a colorful history, and a remarkable civil consciousness, best expressed in the range of its museums andW other public institutions.
Despite all of the good things I had heard about Seattle over the years, my first visit in 1990 was changing planes on my way to Hanford to collect a control panel from one of the first nuclear reac- tors for the National Museum of American History’s “Science in American Life” exhibit. It was only last year that I returned to Seattle to meet with the Program Committee and had the opportunity to explore the city.
Since I had co-curated the exhibit “Rock ‘n’ Soul: Social Crossroads” in Memphis, I was curious to explore the Experience Music Project at Seattle Center, and excited by the fascinating exhibits, awe- some technology, and opportunities for school children to have fun with music. At sunset I took a ferry across the bay to the nearest island and returned watching the city lights come up. There are numerous ferry routes including one to Vancouver that I hope to take advantage of after the convention. One rainy evening I browsed at the El- liott Bay Book Company and bought a cap to ward off the rain. Dining in Seattle is fantastic. Just walking through Pike Place Market along the waterfront with its incredible displays of fish, food, sweets, and merchandise, is a treat. And there is coffee. I enjoyed walking through the city, visiting the public library, exploring galleries, pretending to shop, and watching the flow of people.
The Program Committee, cochaired by Donald Ritchie and Leslie Brown, worked diligently to build a program around the theme “History without Boundaries,” and the Local Resource Committee, cochaired by Shirley Yee and Wilson O’Donnell, has created a tempting array of offsite sessions and events.
Since I joined the OAH in 1967, I have watched it become more inclusive. It now is home to academic historians, public his- torians, K-12 teachers, international scholars, and anyone interested in U.S. history. This year’s program offers history without boundaries, and the sessions will keep many historians off the streets. So plan to come early and stay late and enjoy both the convention and the city. —Pete Daniel, OAH President
join OAH President Pete Daniel in welcoming you to Seattle for our one-hundred-second annual meeting. This year’s program reflects the diverse areas of interest among American historians and will appeal widely to all who engage in our craft. Not only does the OAH meeting offer a sin- Igular venue for us to meet and exchange ideas with colleagues from all over the country, but we also grow from the cross-fertilization that happens when historians who practice in universities meet with public historians, community college historians, and precollegiate teachers.
Our first evening in Seattle features an opening reception at the Seattle Sheraton Hotel at 5 p.m. after which we will stroll to the nearby Seattle Town Hall for our plenary session on the 2008 election. A stellar panel will reflect on various dimensions of this truly historic election. On Friday afternoon you will not want to miss the much acclaimed one-man performance of From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Docks, a recreation of labor leader Harry Bridges’s life and times. Of special note Saturday is an OAH-sponsored roundtable, “One Hundred Years of Struggle: Histories of the NAACP,” a unique look at and centennial celebration of the NAACP’s rich history.
In addition to the meeting’s vibrant sessions, panels, and tours, take time to venture into Seattle for fascinating offsite ses- sions held in seven unique settings. We are pleased to host the fourth annual Teaching American History workshop as well as workshops for community college historians and those interested in oral history.
We have packed over three and a half days of events into three full days, concluding with the presidential reception on Sat- urday evening. We have made these adjustments to encourage travelers to fly Sunday and arrive home at a reasonable hour. So come to Seattle for great history, great coffee, and a great experience! —Lee W. Formwalt, OAH Executive Director

The election of 2008 is barely over, but historians no longer wait for the last ballot to be counted before beginning their analysis. Issues of race and gender have recast the American political landscape, calling for a greater understanding of the long paths leading to this election. The shifting definitions of liberalism and conservatism, and the candidates’ search for a political center are also deeply rooted in the past. Historical perspec- tive not only added a fuller appreciation of developing events but could be disseminated more widely through historians’ blogs, offering timely commentary. Throughout the election, historians also worked in tandem with pollsters to weigh the data as it was collected. The historians on this plenary panel will measure the 2008 election from the viewpoint of history, along with assessing the evolving significance of historians in the electoral process.
From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Docks Friday, March 27, 3:45 p.m. Sponsored by the Labor and Working-Class History Association, the Pacific Northwest Labor History Association, and The Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies
This session features a live performance of Ian Ruskin’s acclaimed one-man multi-media play From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Docks, a dramatic re-creation of the life and times of longshoremen’s union leader Harry Bridges. Blending rare archival film footage, photographs, sound effects, and labor music, Ruskin takes audiences on a riveting personal and historical journey through the New Deal, World War II, and Cold War eras, with one of the twentieth century’s most dynamic figures as their guide.
Bridges was an Australian-born seaman who went to work on the San Francisco waterfront in 1922 and Harry Bridges (Image courtesy ILWU) played a leading role in the 1934 West Coast maritime and general strike. He withstood a twenty-year red-baiting and deportation campaign by shippers and the FBI, denounced the internment of Japanese-Americans, defied the law against interra- cial marriage, and guided his rank and file through the job-swallowing age of mechanization. A radical raconteur both vilified and celebrated in his own time, Bridges provides a sharp, spirited working-class perspective on issues that are as timely as ever given the growing gap between rich and poor, the global war on terror, and increasing governmental surveillance.
Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, Ruskin is a veteran of English repertory theater— London’s West End—and has appeared in scores of films and television programs, including the movie version of From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Dock, directed by Academy Award-winner Haskell Wexler. This 65-minute performance will be followed by a discussion with Ruskin moderated by Baruch College history professor and former San Francisco labor journalist Vincent DiGirolamo.

2009 OAH Annual Meeting • Seattle | 7 Highlights Internet Kiosks Sponsored by JSTOR OAH is pleased to announce that we have partnered with JSTOR to provide our onsite internet kiosks. JSTOR is a not-for-profit organization with a dual mission—to create and maintain a trusted archive of important scholarly journals, and to provide access to these journals as widely as possible. JSTOR offers researchers the ability to retrieve high-resolution, scanned images of journal issues and pages as they were originally designed, printed, and illustrated. The journals archived in JSTOR span many disciplines. JSTOR is a His- tory Cooperative partner.
Screening History The Screening History room features films selected for their quality and usefulness in teach- ing. The 2009 OAH Erik Barnouw Award winner and honorable mention films will be screened Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28.
State of the Field Sessions These sessions are designed to present to a diverse audience the historiography of a subfield and its evolution during the past ten to twenty years. Experts in the subject answer the question, “How did the field get to where it is today?” rather than focus on cutting-edge developments one might find in regular OAH sessions. State of the Field sessions are designed for scholars and teachers not already deeply immersed in a particular field, those who might not have kept up with the literature, and those who may want to incorporate the historiography of the field into their teaching.

Since World War II and the postwar period, Boeing has dominated local and regional economics and politics, and this panel illustrates some of the ways in which Boeing leaders, labor unions, and state and local politicians contributed to this process. Collectively the papers showcase Boeing’s varied constituencies during World War II and postwar period. More specifically, the panel will examine the roles of Washington Senators Warren Magnuson and Henry Jackson in shaping Boeing’s history, its leaders’ emphasis on family, to construct corporate culture and temper employee relations, and the tensions be- tween the Teamsters and the IAM in unionization politics at Boeing in the 1940s. As these presentations reveal, Boeing underwent enormous social, economic, and political change as a result of wartime and post- war growth.
