Why So Few Blacks in Oregon
03/24/2013
Walidah Imarisha

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 conversation with Portland State University author and adjunct professor Walidah Imarisha. Imarisha has taught in Portland State University’s Black studies department, where she has created classes about topics as diverse as the history of the Black Panther Party, race and the history of prisons, Hurricane Katrina, and hip hop as literature.
