The Spirit of California Imprisoned: Summoning the Mission Inn

Presenters/Papers:

  1. “You Can Check Out Any Time You Like, but You Can Never Leave”: 30 Years of Community and Searching for Meaning in the Mission Inn

    Theresa Hanley, Mission Inn Foundation and Museum
    The Mission Inn Foundation and Museum is a community-based non-profit organization that provides public exhibitions and educational programs exploring the history and significance of the Mission Inn. The Foundation's current Board of Trustees President shares her perspectives as a museum curator for the Foundation (in the 1980s) and as a volunteer and Board member.

  2. Two Tales of a City: Riverside’s Magnificent Mission Inn and Desolate Chinatown

    James Lu, California Baptist University
    While the Mission Inn looms triumphantly over downtown Riverside, Chinatown languishes unnoticed and largely deserted. The sharp contrast of these two tales of a city belies their complex dialogue. Nestled within the same setting, Chinatown and the Mission Inn at times overlap and interact, together offering a polyphonic, dynamic discourse.
