Pio Picks

Each week The Pioneer highlights a few events happening on campus or in Walla Walla during the weekend. Here are this week’s picks:

Coffeehouse featuring Sara Jackson-Holman

Twenty-one-year-old Bend, Ore. native and classically trained pianist Sara Jackson-Holman will grace the Coffeehouse stage, performing songs from her debut album, which was released last summer. Jackson-Holman is often compared to Adele, Feist and Norah Jones. Her song “Into the Blue” was featured in the 2010 season finale of ABC’s hit show “Castle.” Friday, Feb. 4, 9-11 p.m. Basement of Reid Campus Center.

WEB Film Series: “A Class Apart”

Whitman Events Board screens PBS-produced documentary “A Class Apart” (2009), which centers around the historic civil rights case of Hernandez v. Texas. The film follows a team of Mexican-American lawyers who navigate the racially-charged 1950s South in an effort to prove a client’s innocence, in the process demonstrating before the Supreme Court that all minority groups are entitled to equal protection under the 14th Amendment. Thursday, Feb. 3, 7:30-9 p.m. Kimball Auditorium.

Writer’s Colony: Childhood and Cupcakes

The Writing Houses hosts its first Writer’s Colony of the semester by blasting back to the ’90s. Writing prompts will evoke themes of childhood, and in addition to cupcakes, the event will feature a pinata to rid yourself all of your post-writing energy. Thursday, Feb. 3, 9-10 p.m. Writing House.
