  • Glasnost & Goodwill Highlights Washington's Grassroots Cold War
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 28, 2017 MEDIA CONTACT: Julianna Verboort, Marketing and Communications Director, Washington State Historical Society, 253-798-5902, [email protected] Visionaries and risk takers: Glasnost & Goodwill highlights Washington’s grassroots Cold War activists Tacoma, WA - By the 1980s, there were thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at the United States, and an equal number targeted at the Soviet Union. The arms race was running out of control and only a vague notion of “mutually assured destruction” stood between war and peace for the world’s superpowers. And yet, citizens did not sit idly by. Quietly a movement formed, built by citizen diplomats who reached across the Pacific to engage their neighbors, one conversation at a time. Washingtonians, in particular, saw an opportunity to bring peace with their neighbors through business partnerships, sister-city relationships, and cultural exchanges. Presented by the Washington State Historical Society, Glasnost and Goodwill: Citizen Diplomacy in the Northwest is an invigorating plunge into how citizen diplomacy in Washington and the greater Northwest contributed to the thawing of the Cold War. Glasnost & Goodwill is brought to life through compelling photographs, rare videos, fascinating oral histories, and authentic artifacts that trace the rise of grassroots diplomacy in Northwest from the late 1930s through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and beyond. Many of the citizen activists contributed to and were involved in creating the exhibition. Their stories reveal the levels of fear and hope that drove their unprecedented actions. In 1987, Lynne Cox became the first person to swim the Bering Strait between the United States and the Soviet Union.

A MESSAGE FROM SUPERVISOR STORCK Today is a great day to be a Mount Vernon District resident,and before you scroll any further, I'd like to share with you two excitingdevelopments that occurred at the July 25th Board of Supervisors meeting. Novus Kings Crossing, a proposal to redevelop a 5.29-acre site in the Penn Daw Community Business Center, was unanimously approved by the Board. The developer will construct a high- quality, mixed-use multi-family building with 350 units and unique onsite park amenities. This new development with Cafritz Interests and Novus Residences creates a unique opportunity to enhance revitalization on Richmond Highway, bring development partners to our corridor, and create an economic investment in our community. The project aligns closely with our goals of Embark Richmond Highway, which calls for increased density around the Community Business Centers to support Bus Rapid Transit and shows that the Richmond Highway corridor is pivoting to the 21st century. Also, after working closely with county staff over the past few months, I was pleased to announce that Fairfax County acquired 2.32 acres of land located at 6318 Quander Road in the Mount Vernon District.

    801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 www.DCHistory.org SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: MS 0766 Loretta Carter Hanes collection, 1749-2005 Processor: Marianne Gill Processed Date: 2014; additional series, objects, and textiles remain in the processing queue as of 2017 [Finding Aid last updated March 2017] Loretta Carter Hanes (1926-2016), a native Washingtonian, was a member of the Carter and Quander families. She was a descendent of enslaved people who lived and worked at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, and she was a dedicated volunteer to the school children of Washington, D.C. She is perhaps best recognized for her contributions to the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program and the establishment of Emancipation Day as a municipal holiday in Washington, D.C. Born in 1926 in Washington, D.C., Loretta often accompanied her mother to her part time job as a cook at Stoddard Baptist Home. There she listened to the residents’ stories, including advice from a 102-year-old former slave who always talked about the need of everyone to help others by “bringing others across the bridge.” After graduating from Armstrong High School and Miner Teacher’s College, Loretta and her husband Wesley opened their home to tutor the neighborhood youth. Eventually a club was formed with 30 members who were taken on field trips to parks in the city for ball games. Reading is Fundamental, a program established November 1, 1966 at the urging of Mrs. Margaret McNamara, is a national program to provide school children with their own books. With offices in the Smithsonian Institution, and the financial support of foundation grants and industry contributions, RIF, by 1986, had 3100 projects in all 50 states and three territories.
