This online event is free to attend with registration. \nAs the pandemic has shown\, communities need to be more resilient\, inclusive and connected. Governments need to rethink the use and management of public spaces\, infrastructure and essential services and their responses are influenced by many factors — resources\, regulations\, socio-economic inequalities\, political will and public awareness. As cities rethink how to activate\, integrate and mainstream grassroot responses into their efforts\, they must also tackle the underlying stresses of inequality and inclusion as exposed by the pandemic. A tall order to fill\, but where to begin? \nMark di Cecco\, AIA East County and Chair of Moorpark General Plan Advisory Committee will be joined by Nicholas Deitch\, AIA West County and Member of Ventura General Plan Advisory Committee\, Jerffrey Lambert\, ACIP and Chief Operating Officer at the Ventura County Community Foundation\, and Lynn C. Johnson\, RLA and Principal of Lynn C. Johnson Associates. \nThis event is a joint production of the Museum of Ventura County and AIA of Ventura County.

SUMMARY:Local History Happy Hour with Jose Alamillo
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Ventura County invites you to join us for our new bi-monthly Zoom series\, Local History Happy Hour. In this series\, local authors and historians will sit down with The Barbara Barnard Smith Executive Director Elena Brokaw to discuss their unique perspectives on our region’s history\, and take questions from the audience. \nMark your calendars for Tuesday\, May 4\, 2021 from 5—6PM for the next installment featuring Jose A. Alamillo\, author of Deportes: The Making of a Sporting Diaspora. Admission is free with registration. \nJosé A. Alamillo is professor of Chicana/o Studies at California State University Channel Islands (Camarillo\, CA) and author of Making Lemonade out of Lemons: Mexican American Labor and Leisure in a California Town and co-author of Latinos in U.S. Sport. He is a consultant on Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History exhibition on Latinos and Latinas in baseball. \nDeportes: The Making of a Sporting Diaspora uncovers the hidden experiences of Mexican male and female athletes\, teams and leagues and their supporters who fought for a more level playing field on both sides of the border. Despite a widespread belief that Mexicans shunned physical exercise\, teamwork or “good sportsmanship\,” they proved that they could compete in a wide variety of sports at amateur\, semiprofessional\, Olympic and professional levels. Some even made their mark in the sports world by becoming the “first” Mexican athlete to reach the big leagues and win Olympic medals or world boxing and tennis titles.
