Alonzo Tucker | Art Center | REBROADCAST: Sauvie Swim

• The only documented lynching in Oregon's history was committed in 1902 in Coos Bay. Now, a group of Oregonians are working to create a memorial to Alonzo Tucker, the man who was killed. They say it's a way to educate Oregonians about the state's racist history and bring restorative justice to the community. Jay Brown is a co-founder of the Alonzo Tucker Project, and Taylor Stewart is the founder of the Oregon Remembrance Project, which educates Oregonians about the history of lynchings.

• The Crossroads Carnegie Art Center is used to being a hub for all kinds of activities in Baker City — First Friday art gallery openings, dance and craft classes for kids and adults, ragtime piano music, and more. The organization is finding creative ways to continue to offer as much as it can to the community. We talk with executive director Ginger Savage about navigating the new normal.

• Last year, Cindy Werhane tried to become the first person to swim all the way around Sauvie Island. She swam for 20 straight hours — and almost completed the loop — before she had to call it quits. We listen back to our conversation with Werhane.
