2026 marks the 250th year since the United States of America became a nation -- and if you pay attention to the news even a little bit, you know it's a complicated time to be an American. The Beyond 250 Conversation Project by Oregon Humanities aims to untangle the complex stories of who we are as a nation or as a community. The downtown Klamath County Library is hosting one of them on Saturday, June 6th at 10am: a discussion on "Talking Values Across Divides," led by retired United Methodist minister Lowell Greathouse. This conversation will examine the deep divides in our world, and the difficulties involved in talking about them in safe, civil, and respectful ways. There are Beyond 250 conversations happening all over the state, including several that can be joined via video conferencing. Head here for a list of available virtual and in-person events , and check out more from Oregon Humanities at their website . For more information about the event at the library, call 541-882-8894.
