Women’s history reached beyond a museum display
Labour records give the exhibition context.

Clark County scheduled its free “Empowered” exhibition for March 6–May 25, 2026 at its Henderson museum, pairing women’s history with a website profiling 50 women. [1]
That history includes institution-building. UNLV’s Culinary Union archive records Hattie Canty’s 1990 election as its first Black woman president and the 1993 creation of a training centre financed through collective bargaining agreements. [2]
Training connected labour negotiations to career skills, rather than pay alone. The archive also documents the 1991–98 Frontier strike, a different route workers used to seek benefits. These historical records do not describe current contracts. [2]
The county’s digital project provided another format for local history beyond a temporary display, spanning aviation, education, business and politics. Its announcement does not establish that the physical exhibit remains open. [1]
