Uncovering Oregon’s Black History

People of African descent have lived and worked in Oregon since before the founding of the earliest English-speaking settlements in the Americas.

This erasure is the result of historic legal and social marginalization that contributes to the ignorance of Oregon’s Black heritage, as well as influences contemporary disparities in housing access, community investment, and policing. For this presentation, Oregon Black Pioneers will attempt to correct the record by highlighting key individuals and events that characterize Oregon’s unique and centuries-old Black history.

Featuring speaker Mariah Rocker, Public Programs and Exhibits Manager for Oregon Black Pioneers

Monday, March 18, 6:00 –7:30 PM
