[Diedre Conkling]

I agree with Deborah. I shared this article with the ALA SRRT Feminist Task
Force and ALA Committee on the Status of Women in Libraries as part of an
ongoing look at women of library history.

> From Cam’s article, “Another pivotal point in societal consciousness is
> brewing. Statues, plaques, and other representations of the controversial
> values of times foregone have tumbled and awareness of the transgressions
> of historical figures is at an all-time high. Increased awareness has
> awakened a reexamination period, an acknowledgment of the necessity for a
> holistic narrative about the people and events we choose to honor. With
> this modern lens of cultural value being used to highlight the actions of
> past leaders, the State Library of Oregon has begun its own introspection
> on who we venerate and how.”
