The Urban League of Portland’s State of Black Oregon was published in 2009 for the first time in 17 years. It confirmed that social and economic disparities and systemic disadvantage still exist for African Americans and other people of color.

The State of Black Oregon offers a plan of action. JOIN US. Hear the facts. Be part of the solution. You are invited to attend any or all of the events below as we shape a bold policy agenda to address the disparities highlighted in the report.
