Much of Oregon’s populace rallied to make the state one of the most patriotic in the nation during the World War I era, but what about the other Oregonians, those who objected to, or merely criticized, America’s engagement?  They were subject to harassment, ostracism, and charges of sedition.

Michael Helquist, author of Marie Equi: Radical Politics and Outlaw Passions, will recount the stories of the nearly 100 Oregonians arrested under the federal sedition law during a talk at the Eugene Public Library, 100 W. 10th Av; Saturday, March 31, at 2pm – 3:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public. Copies of his award-winning biography of Marie Equi, the only woman in Oregon convicted of sedition, will be available for purchase and signing.
