RE: My proposal to complete an exceptional Multiple Property Submission for African
American Heritage Properties in Pasco.
To Whom it May Concern,
The last Multiple Property Submission (MPS) I completed was virtually identical to your project,
ie. an historic context and two National Register of Historic Places(NRNP) nominations,funded
by an Underrepresented Communities grant,for African American Heritage properties in a
western city(Helena, Montana).That historic context was selected as a "model National
Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Documentation form," by the National Park
Service's Paul Lusignan, and the project earned the 2o18 Excellence in Consulting Award from
the National Council on Public History. Dr. Quintard Taylor, University of Washington Professor and
pre-eminent scholar of African American history in the West, hailed it as "the fullest, richest account
of African American history in Helena and much of the rest of Montana that I have seen anywhere . . .
narrative history at its best."
My name is Delia Hagen, and I am excited to repeat this professional excellence and success for
the Pasco African American Heritage properties MPS. My unique blend of academic training,
extensive experience in historic contexts and NRHP nominations, and expertise in the zot"century
history of African Americans in the West makes me the perfect person to complete the Pasco African
American Heritage Properties MPS. I earned my PhD in American History at UC Berkeley, where I
focused on the history of the U.S.West and specialized in questions of race, rights and property: my
2015 dissertation on that subject was one of only five selected—from around the nation and
beyond—for the renowned Yale Western History Dissertation Workshop.
In addition to academic expertise in the fields that are critical for a thorough understanding of
the history and built environment of Pasco's African American community, I have worked in
public history and cultural resource management for over zo years. I have completed many NHL
and NRHP nominations for historic resources across the West, and have surveyed/inventoried
and evaluated the NRHP-eligibility of many more. I have especially extensive experience with
African American properties like those in Pasco, ranging from black homestead properties in
Washington and Montana to the 26 urban African American sites I recently inventoried in
conjunction with the African American Heritage Resources historic context and NRHP
nominations I completed last year for the City of Helena. Indeed, some of those Helena
properties may be historically linked to Pasco's African American sites:the black community in
Helena was closely affiliated with communities in Washington state, and when Helena's black
population declined before the Second World War, many people moved to the burgeoning black
communities in eastern and central Washington.
My recent work on African American heritage properties in the West builds on my specific
knowledge and experience in African American history more broadly,which I have developed
throughout my career. My graduate coursework included courses focused on that history in the
Southern states, and on race in the Texas region (where I did my M.A., and where most black Pasco
residents originated), as well as courses focused thematically on Citizenship, Race, and Ethnicity, and
when I taught American History to undergraduates at UC Berkeley, I trained with Leon Litwack,
Pulitzer prize-winning historian of black America in the post-Civil War period.As a practicing public
historian, my recent work has focused specifically on black history in the West.That work has led me
to in-depth scholarly research on the subject, and I am currently preparing an academic article
solicited for publication by Dr. Quintard Taylor,as well as planning for additional work on Montana's
black past for public history projects and peer-reviewed journal articles.
I am especially adept at researching and writing historic contexts. Indeed, my expertise with
contexts has earned what the National Council on Public History 2o18 Awards committee
described as "the enduring accolades and profound gratitude" of my clientele. Clients and
review officials have oft written to express their appreciation in this regard, remarking that my
"work exhibits the highest quality of scholarship, and conveys a deep understanding of the
Western cultural landscape,"and that my"ability to document and express the unique qualities
of historic properties, as well as place the built environment in its appropriate historic and
architectural context, is extraordinary." In response to an MPD and context I completed for
Montana properties last year,the review official—who has "worked at the State Historic
Preservation Office, reviewing and writing National Register documentation for nearly two
decades"—wrote that my"submissions are consistently the best in terms of scholarly rigor,
insightful contextual development, and approachability. Indeed, your ability to convey complex
historiography through clear, engaging, sensitive narrative remains unrivaled." Moreover, my
background includes cultural resource work on military sites established during WWII in eastern
Washington, and much of my recent work is focused on the midcentury period that will be the
focus of the Pasco project.
My plan for completing the MPS for African American Heritage Properties in Pasco reflects my
commitment to these professional practices.A detailed Scope of Work and proposed
Budget/Schedule is attached, as is a CV/select project experience list, a list of references, and a
preliminary project bibliography.As these documents demonstrate, I meet the Secretary of
Interior's Professional Qualification Standards (as set forth in 36 CFR Part 61)for both historian
and architectural historian. Moreover, I am adept at conveying the benefits of NRHP-listing to
property owners, and I have a strong track record of procuring enthusiastic owner support for
listing. I am happy to provide additional information as needed. More detailed information is
also available on my website, www.deliahagen.com.
Pasco stands at a critical crossroads.With development increasingly threatening the few
remaining historic black properties of East Pasco, and the crucial history of African Americans in
the area (and in the Manhattan project) largely undocumented,the city needs a thorough
understanding of its African American history and its extant associated sites.The MPS I
complete will provide this understanding, expertly documenting and contextualizing the history
of African Americans in Pasco, the Tri-Cities, Hanford, and the Manhattan Project, as well as
formally recognizing two of the most significant extant associated historic sites, in a manner
that meets the highest scholarly standards while being easily adaptable for a public history
media project on the city's website. It will allow the City of Pasco not only to make great
progress in remedying the underrepresentation of African Americans in the city's history, but
also to make that important history clear and accessible to the general public. As such, it will be
an invaluable resource for education and understanding.
Thank you for your consideration, and for your work on documenting and preserving the historic
built environment of Pasco's black community and the crucial history it embodies. I look forward
to helping with this important project.
Sincerely,
Delia Hagen, PhD

PROPOSAL FOR PROJECT SCOPE OF SERVICES
Provided by Hagen Historical Consulting
July, 2018
INTRODUCTION
Delia Hagen, PhD, proposes to assist the City of Pasco, Washington in completing a
National Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Submission (MPS) for Historic
African American Properties in East and Central Pasco, Washington. Accordingly, Delia
Hagen, as a professional independent contractor, will provide the historic resource
services set forth in this proposed Scope of Work. Any required services not listed
herein have been, or will be, performed by others.
Delia Hagen will provide historic resource services related to the MPS as well as
associated tasks and deliverables detailed below.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
The following services will be performed by Delia Hagen for this project. These are
divided by phase, task, and line item to correspond to the attached Cost Proposal and
schedule spreadsheet. If a task is not listed in the following scope, it is not a part of the
proposed work and associated budget.
TASK: Research and Write NRHP Multiple Property Documentation Form for
Historic African American Properties in East and Central Pasco
In accordance with Secretary of Interior guidelines, Hagen will complete all tasks
necessary to complete a Multiple Property Documentation form for historic African
American properties in Pasco, including:
• A review of pertinent literature on the Pasco area's past and on regional African
American history in relation to the Pasco, Tri-Cities, Hanford, and the Manhattan
Project, including material held in Hagen Historical Consulting's professional
library; in WSU Tri-Cities and other university libraries and archives (including
UW); in Washington State Historical Society libraries and archives; and in
repositories in the Tri-cities and Franklin and Benton counties.
• A study of existing surveys of African American properties in Washington and
other NRHP documents for sites in Franklin and Benton counties (including the
Gold Coast Historic District NRHP nomination and the Hanford B. Reactor NRHP
and NHL nominations), as well as photographs, historical maps, and other
sources of information.
• Completing primary and secondary research on African American history, and
historic black properties in the Pasco area, including research at the library and
archives of the Northwest African American Museum; WSU Tri-Cities, the
Franklin County Historical Society and the East Benton County Historical Society;
the REACH Museum; Richland Public Library, the former CREHST (Columbia
River Exhibition of History, Science, and Technology; the Hanford History
Project; materials gathered by the History and Recognition Committee of the

Jeffrey B. Adams, Associate Planner
City of Pasco
525 N. 3rd Ave
Pasco WA 99301
Subject: City of Pasco African American Experience Historic Context Document and NRHP
Nominations
Dear Mr. Adams,
Harris Environmental Group, Inc. (Harris Environmental) appreciates the opportunity to provide the City
of Pasco with a proposal to prepare a historic context statement and National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP) nominations for selected properties associated with the African American experience in Pasco.
Harris Environmental is an award-winning cultural and natural resources consulting firm specializing in
the western U.S.
We were honored to be awarded the contract for the initial survey of historic properties associated with
the African American experience within the City of Pasco. In addition to the survey of African American
properties in Pasco, which is currently underway, Harris Environmental has completed numerous cultural
resources investigations, including both archaeological and architectural inventories and National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility evaluations and nominations.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
In the summer of 2017 Ms. Tanya Bowers contacted the City of Pasco and proposed to apply for, and if
successful, manage, a grant from the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP),
financed in part with funds from the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The grant was
intended to address the underrepresentation of the African American community in East and Central
Pasco in the history and stories of the city and the larger extended community of the Washington's Tri-
Cities, Hanford and the Manhattan Project. The City applied for the grant which was subsequently
approved by the DAHP for the survey of properties in East Pasco that meet the criteria of
Underrepresented Community Grant projects.
Harris Environmental was awarded the contract to conduct the first phase of this project, the survey and
inventory of up to ten historic properties associated with communities underrepresented in the NRHP,
specifically as it relates to the community African Americans built in East and Central Pasco after
migrating to the Tri-Cities in support of the World War II effort and afterwards at the Manhattan
Project's Hanford site.
The current proposal is in response to the City of Pasco's solicitation for the development of a historic
context statement for the project as a whole, as well as the nomination of two historic properties to the
NRHP.
STATEMENT OF WORK
This project is divided into two tasks: Historic Context Statement, and National Register Nominations.
Harris Environmental's proposed approach to accomplishing these project tasks is described below.
HARRIS ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP,INC.
333 N.FARALLONEAVE/FIRCREST, WA 98466 1
CITY OF PASCO SUR VEYAND PUBLIC OUTREACH PROJECT O'N"k
Context Statement
The context statement and nominations will build on research performed during the execution of the first
contract. If awarded, Harris Environmental will utilize data gathered from a public meeting, as well as
records research and fieldwork from the survey and inventory of up to 10 structures and/or sites
associated with the African-American experience in East Pasco. Sources consulted will include references
pertaining to the history of Washington State, Franklin County, the Tri-Cities, the City of Pasco and the
African-American community therein. These will include narrative histories as well as ethnographic
accounts and interviews as well as maps, photographs and other resources. Harris Environmental will
conduct this research at the Franklin County Historical Society, as well as online at Washington's
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation(DAHP) and various library collections.
Harris Environmental will utilize data gathered during the historic property survey combined with further
research to prepare a comprehensive context statement for Pasco and the experience of African
Americans who lived in the area during the period of significance as it relates to the community African
Americans built in East Pasco having migrated to the Tri-Cities to support the World War II effort and
afterwards at the Manhattan Project's Hanford site.
NRHP Nominations
Harris Environmental will use the data collected during the initial survey of African American properties
to prepare nomination forms for two of the properties identified to be eligible for listing on the NRNP. As
part of this process, owner permission will be obtained for any property slated for nomination.
Three key concepts- historic significance, historic integrity, and historic context will be addressed in each
nomination. The data concerning historic significance and integrity, collected from Harris
Environmental's survey of the properties will be used for the nominations, as well as the context
statement prepared as the first part of this contract.
Each property will be nominated under the applicable NRHP Criteria, as determined during the first phase
of survey.

ORGANIZATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Harris Environmental has prepared numerous cultural resources reports for cultural resources surveys, site
assessments, archaeological monitoring, testing, and data recovery. We have many years of experience
working with federal agencies as well as private clients, serving as both a prime contractor and a team
member.
Through our work on the first part of this underrepresented communities grant in Pasco, Harris
Environmental has established relationships with the City, as well as Ms. Bowers, the author of the grant
application. Archaeologist Dana Holschuh has communicated frequently with Ms. Bowers during the
initial phases of the project and has been the fortunate recipient of her expertise on the subject matter.
Ms. Holschuh has also established a relationship with members of the local community, having attended
Pasco's Juneteenth celebration in Kurtzmann Park, where she met and initiated conversation with
members of the African-American community to publicize the project. Ms Holschuh organized a public
outreach, townhall-style meeting, coordinated with the City, AACCES, Ms. Bowers and Pasco Parks and
Recreation in order to gather information informing the survey of historic properties related to the
African-American experience in Pasco. At this meeting, approximately 15 members of the community
attended to share their stories and recollections of life in East Pasco during the period in question. This
information was compiled to aid in choosing the properties that would be included in the survey.
In addition to Ms. Holschuh's work on the African American experience in Pasco project, Harris
Environmental's interdisciplinary team has experience carrying out all aspects of the NHPA, NEPA,
ARPA processes, particularly with all aspects of NRHP evaluations and the development of context
statements in archaeological and architectural projects and reports.
Harris Environmental has been acknowledged by awards, including The Boeing Company's Supplier of
the Year award in 2007, and received high level performance awards in 2008, 2009, and 2010 for our
commitment to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) SBInet program (installation of

Smith to complete a task order contract with FEMA Region IX in Northern California. Technical support
from Harris Environmental included review of Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant applications to identify
potential impacts to architectural and archaeological resources. A primary task order under the contract
was review of twelve structures along the Russian River in Sonoma County, which were recommended
for elevation due to flooding hazards. Harris Environmental conducted archival research and prepared a
historic context for the area. Each structure was visited and documented through photographs and
architectural descriptions. The National Register of Historic Places eligibility of each structure was
evaluated, with consideration given to its condition and recent modifications. The structures were also
evaluated for their potential to be considered part of an historic district. A historic properties technical
report was prepared and submitted to FEMA and the California SHPO.

recovery investigations at site 45PIl 164(Evans Homestead), in order to identify architectural remains and
recover important scientific and historical information that would otherwise be lost as a result of ongoing
military training impacts. The investigations included analysis and reporting of results and curation of
resulting data and materials. Harris Environmental also carried out an archaeological survey of 549 acres
in areas that have been impacted by military training. Survey was accomplished using shovel tests spaced
25 meters apart. Harris Environmental performed additional field work at ten (10) large, complex
archaeological sites, totaling approximately 63 acres, affected by military training activities, in order to
provide information for making an NRHP eligibility assessment. Harris Environmental provided a
comprehensive report on the results from all phases of work.
We look forward to assisting the City of Pasco with this project. Please contact me at 520-628-7648 or
