Oregon’s Racial History Workshop

From the American Civil Liberties Union:

Oregon’s Racial History
Sat, May 21, 1pm – 4pm
PCC Cascade Campus Student Center Cafeteria

Join the ACLU of Oregon and discover the history of race in Oregon through this interactive workshop at the ACLU of Oregon Annual Meeting. PCC Cascade Campus Student Center Cafeteria is at 705 N. Killingsworth, Portland. Over the years, Oregon’s laws and policies have influenced how families and communities of color are engaged in Oregon’s civic life. Come take an interactive walk with us through the timeline of Oregon’s racial history and learn more about how this history impacts the decisions each of us makes today. Learn things about Oregon that you never knew, be reminded of others that you may have forgotten, and connect the many dots during this exploration of our state’s racial history. Facilitated by Kim Feicke of the Center for Equitable and Effective Leadership, Lewis & Clark College
