On March 12, the Museum of the Rockies will screen the second episode of “The Story of Us: The Women Who Shaped Montana.”
The show “explores the lives and legacies of three remarkable women who defied societal norms to leave a lasting impact on the state of Montana,” according to an event description by the Museum of the Rockies.
“Helena Clarke, a woman of Blackfeet and White descent, broke barriers as one of Montana’s early female elected officials,” the description stated. “Rose Hum Lee contributed invaluable insights into the dynamics of America’s Chinatowns. Rose Gordon, a Black woman who dedicated her life to serving and unifying the town of White Sulphur Springs. Through their stories, this episode sheds light on the contributions of women who shaped Montana’s history in profound ways.”
Following the screening, historian Mary Murphy, PBS Montana Educator Nicole Vradenburg, filmmaker Kimberly Hogberg, and Crystal Alegria of The Extreme History Project will speak on a panel.
The screening is at 5:30 p.m. at MOR’s Hager Auditorium and is free and open to the public.
