This event will focus on the legacy of Alonzo Tucker, Oregon’s most widely documented African American victim of lynching, and how his memory has inspired a movement for historical reconciliation. Taylor Stewart will share about how the search for an answer to this question transformed his life and taught him the potential to find true justice for Oregon’s history of racial injustice.
“This story is not just about reconciliation; it’s about finding a way to heal and foster hope in our communities,” Stewart explains. “By confronting these painful narratives, we can begin to foster understanding and pave the way for a more just future.”
Gabrielle Johnsen, founder of Grants Pass Remembrance (from Sundown to Sunrise) and Community Engagement Director of ORP, will join the discussion. A Q&A session will follow.
