This August 7th event is presented by the Lower Columbia Diversity Project and is part of Oregon Humanities’ statewide Conversation Project.
Have you ever wondered why the Black population in Oregon is so small? Oregon has a history not only of Black exclusion and discrimination, but also of a vibrant Black culture that helped sustain many communities throughout the state—a history that is not taught in schools.
This is the focus of “Why Aren’t There More Black People in Oregon? : A Hidden History,” a free conversation with Portland State University author and adjunct professor Walidah Imarisha on Tuesday, August 7th , 2012 at 7:00 PM at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial, Astoria, OR 97103.
