SUMMARY:Free Lecture: The Future of Historic Buildings in Tijuana
DESCRIPTION:World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024 is an opportunity to shape the future of our region through the power of design. By showcasing our region as a global hub for design\, innovation\, arts\, and culture\, WDC 2024 fosters lasting economic\, social\, cultural\, civic\, and environmental impact. Aligned with this effort\, the Coronado Historical Association in partnership with the Coronado Arts Commission\, invites you to join us for a free lecture to learn about the future of historic buildings in Tijuana. On September 5\, 2024\, at 5:30 pm CHA will be hosting preservationist Maria Curry to talk about preservation efforts in Tijuana.\n \nTijuana has been called “the house of all people” and the “most visited border city in the world” where new communities form every day because of intense migration. In this quickly growing city with its bustling neighborhoods of free trade\, older buildings from the modernist era become hard to preserve. These architectural gems are often abandoned and then become obsolete or torn down. Unfortunately\, urban development\, economic forces\, and ineffective laws prevent preservationists from protecting Tijuana’s significant past.  Its tiled arcades and historically significant landmarks are at risk. As an advocate for historic conservation\, a public official\, and an academic in historic preservation\, Maria Curry will discuss the challenges to safeguarding the splendor of Tijuana’s architectural gems and local memory of bygone days.\n \nMaria Curry is an expert in historic preservation at the Secretaria de Cultura de Baja California. She holds an architectural engineering degree\, a master’s degree in restoration of monuments\, and is a Ph.D. candidate in Historic Preservation from Cornell University.\n \nThis event is free and open to the public however capacity is limited so reservations are required. Please rsvp by calling 619-4345-7242 or visiting coronadohistory.org. \n

SUMMARY:Wine & Lecture: The Pacific Parachute Company 
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Historical Association invites you to the September Wine & Lecture on Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, at 5:30 p.m.   \nEighty-two years ago\, Howard “Skippy” Smith founded the nation’s first black-owned and managed defense production plant in San Diego. Author Agin Shaheed will discuss the life of this skydiver turned national-recognized entrepreneur. \nBorn in Alabama in 1913\, “Skippy” Smith moved to Los Angeles California during the Great Depression with little to nothing in his pocket with hopes of becoming a pilot. By 1939\, he had become a renowned skydiver with his partner Mac “Skip” Gravelly. The duo became well known for the difficult and dangerous free fall jumps followed by delayed parachute openings at air shows.  \nSmith would eventually move to San Diego and become the first African American hired by defense contractor Standard Parachute to test\, pack\, and inspect parachutes manufactured for WWII. Around the same time\, comedian Jack Benny’s partner\, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson\, was looking for ways he could contribute to the war effort and was introduced to Smith. With Anderson’s financial backing\, Smith’s Pacific Parachute Company opened on 8th Street in San Diego in March 1942. Pacific Parachute earned recognition from Time Magazine as the “Top Black Owned Business in the United States” in 1943. Smith also notably employed one of the few integrated workforces in San Diego at that time.   \nAgin Shaheed\, a native Californian\, served in the US Navy from 1968-1972. He has authored two books in his “unsung hero” series. First\, Charles C. Flint\, The Man\, and His Times\, chronicles the life of one of Los Angeles’ most remarkable Black citizens. He also recently released the book\, A Musical Blueprint\, Ernie Freeman\, The Man\, and His Times which recounts the life of the Grammy-winning arranger\, composer\, conductor\, producer\, director\, bandleader\, orchestra leader\, and voice coach. Agin has also co-authored Our Roots Run Deep\, The Black Experience in California 1900-1970 and It’s Your Choice\, San Diego Unified Schools manual for African American Males. \nReserve your spot to hear the fascinating story of this African American entrepreneur who made history in San Diego. Learn more about this event and others online at coronadohistory.org or call 619-435-7242.

SUMMARY:Coronado Historical Association Wine & Lecture: California’s Sugar King
DESCRIPTION:Who doesn’t love a compelling biography? Many Coronadans have read Empire Builder: John D. Spreckels and the Making of San Diego and now the legacy continues with a new book\, The Sugar King of California: The Life of Claus Spreckels penned by the same author\, Sandra Bonura.  \n \nThis is a rags-to-riches story of a colorful and controversial immigrant and his role in the development of America’s sugar industry. He became one of the richest Americans in history and triumphed in an era rife with cronyism and corruption which ultimately transformed California’s agriculture\, industry\, and transportation. He wielded a clenched fist over Hawai‘i’s economy for nearly two decades after occupying a position of unrivaled power and political influence with the Hawaiian monarchy\, while also advancing major technology developments on the islands. Harshly criticized by his enemies for ruthless business tactics but loved by his employees\, he was unapologetic in his quest for wealth\, asserting “Spreckels’s success is California’s success.”  \n \nBut there’s always a cost for single-minded determination; the legendary family quarrels even included a murder charge. Spreckels’ biography is one of triumph and tragedy\, a portrait of a family torn apart by money\, jealousy\, and ego with lessons for us all. \n\nDr. Sandra Bonura\, who has been praised for her ability to breathe life into forgotten histories\, is a native San Diegan who spent her childhood in Coronado. Bonura has worked with the Coronado Historical Association as a docent and served as the guest curator for its exhibit John D. Spreckels: The Man\, The Legacy.   \nRegister today for the October 17 lecture to hear more about the book and the primary sources she utilized to gain perspective on the “Sugar King.” Dr. Bonura is known for her meticulous research and vivid storytelling. She will present a colorful and interactive slideshow on the life of Claus Spreckels. Afterward\, she will sign purchased copies of The Sugar King of California: The Life of Claus Spreckels. Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers. Visit coronadohistory.org or call 619-435-7242 to register. \n

SUMMARY:Why Civic Education Matters with David Davenport
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library for an insightful discussion with author David Davenport on his book\, A Republic If We Can Teach It: Fixing America’s Civic Education Crisis. Davenport examines the urgent need for better civic education to preserve the republic\, highlighting the disconnect between young Americans and the foundational principles of self-government and freedom. Attendees will learn about this important issue and actionable solutions to bridge this civic knowledge gap at this talk. \n \n\nDavid Davenport is a research fellow emeritus at the Hoover Institution specializing in constitutional federalism\, civic education\, modern American conservatism\, and international law. During his career at Hoover\, he also served in administrative capacities as counselor to the director and the inaugural director of Hoover’s Washington\, DC\, program. Davenport is the former president of Pepperdine University (1985–2000). Under his leadership\, the university experienced significant growth in quality and reputation. He is the cofounder of Common Sense California and the Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership. He also served on the board of California Forward\, a major bipartisan reform group\, and was a member of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s California Performance Review Commission. He is a former senior fellow of the Ashbrook Center\, where he worked on civic education projects. \nDavenport and Jeffrey Sikkenga have co-authored a new book on civic education in 2024\, A Republic If You Can Teach It: Fixing America’s Civic Education Crisis. With his colleague Gordon Lloyd\, Davenport co-authored Equality of Opportunity: A Century of Debate\, which was released in 2023. They also co-wrote How Public Policy Became War (2019)\, Rugged Individualism: Dead or Alive? (2017)\, The New Deal and Modern American Conservatism: A Defining Rivalry (2013); These books offer distinctive ways of understanding both historic and current debates between progressives and conservatives in the United States. \n\nA Republic If We Can Teach It: Fixing America‘s Civic Education Crisis is a call to action\, an effort to save our republic through better civic education. America faces a crisis in civic education that imperils the long-term health of the country. Too many Americans―especially young people―do not have the knowledge of history and principles necessary to sustain the republic. In what has become a vicious cycle\, young people are not learning about their country―its history and how it works―and they grow up disengaged and distrustful. Too many young people do not understand the principles of self-government on which America was founded. And they do not understand America’s history as the story of the struggle to live up to those principles of freedom articulated in documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Instead\, too many believe that America’s story is essentially one of oppression\, not freedom―injustice\, not hope. In the first half of the book\, authors Jeff Sikkenga and David Davenport diagnose the problem while proposing solutions in the second half. Truly\, America faces a civics crisis and action is needed now to reverse the trend.
