Join Oregon Black Pioneers & the Museum on Thursday, July 11th at 4pm to delve into Oregon's unique & centuries-old Black history by highlighting key individuals and events!
People of African descent have lived and worked in Oregon since before the founding of the earliest English-speaking settlements. Despite this, the state's popular narrative excludes the historic experiences of African Americans before the mid-20th century. This erasure is the result of legal and social marginalization that contributes to the ignorance of Oregon’s Black heritage, as well as influences contemporary disparities in day-to-day life.
