On November 2, 2018 a reception was held in honor of the unveiling of the bronze bust of Ella Higginson in Wilson Library at Western Washington University. Film crew Talking to Crows was present to record the event. The edited video has been released for public viewing!
The reception featured speeches from Dr. Laura Laffrado, Director of the Ella Higginson Recovery Project; Dr. Mark Greenberg, Dean of Libraries; Professor Elizabeth Joffrion, Director of Heritage Resources at Western Libraries; and Dr. Brent Carbajal, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Guests witnessed an exceptional vocal performance by artist Olivia Pedroza, who performed three of Higginson’s poems that had been set to music. Pedroza’s performance starts at 36:04 in the taping of the reception.
