ODOT staff conducted initial interviews with members of the African American community to gain a better understanding of the following items during the project’s upcoming environmental review and public involvement phase: The project area’s history. How to meaningfully engage communities of color and low-income populations (populations that were disproportionately impacted with prior Rose Quarter area developments). The interviews were conducted in advance of the formal public involvement kick-off, so as to use the respondent’s feedback to shape the project direction. This summary notes the interview process and individuals engaged, and documents the direct feedback provided, mostly verbatim, by the interview respondents. The following topics were discussed and are summarized herein: History of the Rose Quarter area. How the Rose Quarter area has changed and the drivers for such changes and demographic shifts. Perception of public agencies relative to prior projects in the Rose Quarter. Additional individuals to engage in the public involvement phase. Public outreach recommendations, including setting expectations, messaging, venues/events, and agency participation. Project approach suggestions, including who and how to engage and potential partnerships Future development potential for the I-5 lid structures. The interviews revealed several key themes relative to establishing a successful community engagement process, as well as setting up the project for success in its future design and construction phases. The primary recommendations are as follows: Listen to the community, including their discussions of the project area’s history and ideas for project design and development. Set clear expectations. The agency and community roles and responsibilities need to be clear, with one voice and a clear vision. Define agency roles and responsibilities and be transparent. Some project elements will be under ODOT’s jurisdiction, while others will be the City of Portland’s responsibility. The public should understand the specific roles and what each agency can and cannot do. Involve people of color in current and future project phases. For example, community events/forums should be facilitated by a person of color. Future project design and construction phases also should ensure inclusion of minority-owned firms/businesses. Understand that this is a unique project due to: o The construction of the lids and the new space they create o It is a joint ODOT/City project and includes at least engaging with two or more City bureaus o The project area is a geographically and historically sensitive area that will require a different approach. The project sponsors should engage communities of color and low- income populations early in the process and provide a meaningful feedback loop for incorporating the communities’ input into the project.

As detailed in the program, participants dressed in blackface and performed skits for audiences in Portland, Oregon. Programs in the OHS Research Library collection indicate the church performed minstrel shows from the 1940s until at least 1950. During that time, the church moved the show from a single performance at Grant High School to two performances at Civic Auditorium. ON THE COVER: On May 26, 2017, White supremacist Jeremy Christian verbally attacked two young women, one wearing a hijab, on a light-rail train in Portland, Oregon. Three men intervened, and Christian killed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, while severely injuring Micah Fletcher. In the days following the attack, a powerful, tangible response from the community developed at the Hollywood MAX station — a memorial to the victims that included chalk messages, photographs, candles, and flowers. Jackie Labrecque, then a reporter for KATU News, took this photograph at dawn after someone wrote, in pink chalk, Taliesin Namkai-Meche’s final words: “Please tell everyone on this train I love them.” The memorial, a response to tragedy, also provided hope through a resounding denouncement of hate.

  • Desegregation and Multiculturalism in the Portland Public Schools
    ETHAN JOHNSON AND FELICIA WILLIAMS Desegregation and Multiculturalism in the Portland Public Schools HELEN MARIE CASEy’s BOOKLET Portland’s Compromise: the Colored School, 1867–1872 recounts the story of William Brown, an African-American resident of Portland, Oregon, and his role in the first and only case of official segregation of African-American children in Portland Public Schools (PPS) in 187. After unsuccessfully trying to enroll his children in one of Portland’s only two public elementary schools, Brown appealed to the school board, including directors Josiah Failing, W.S. Ladd, and E.D. Shattuck. Again, his children were denied access. The board of directors explained their resistance to integrated schools by saying: “If we admit them [African-American chil- dren], then next year we will have no money to run the schools.” According to Casey, the directors were “afraid to provoke the taxpayers and rouse their ire.”1 Rather than attempting such a politically “risky” effort, the school board eventually allocated $800 — $75 more than it had offered prior to Brown’s threat of a lawsuit — for a segregated school at the corner Southwest Fourth and Columbia. Twenty-six African-American students, twenty-one boys and five girls — many of whom had previously attempted to attend another public, or “free,” school in Portland but had been denied — enrolled in the school. The continued existence of the “Colored School” was constantly in question at annual school meetings. Funding for the school was abolished in 1872, and the next year, thirty African-American children were admitted to the newly integrated PPS.

  • State of Black Oregon Report
    table of contents History 1 Economic Development 9 Education 28 Criminal Justice 43 Housing 55 Health 67 Environmental Justice 77 Child Welfare 86 Civic Engagement 95 Historical Timeline of African Americans in Oregon 106 Foreword I invite you to read this presentation of various perspectives on the STATE OF BLACK OREGON. We are in defining times. We, as Oregonians, are being challenged on the economic front and by proposed changes in our health care system, education and human services, as we seek to provide greater opportunity with fewer resources. Critical to this discussion is including all peoples, communities, individuals, house- holds and their hopes and aspirations. We face extraordinary challenges. At a time when many have to reassess the extent of their dreams, the extent of their resources and hopes, African Americans are often the first to be unemployed; the first to suffer from discrimination in a society that still struggles to break out of the legacies of segregation, Jim Crow, redlining of neigh- borhoods and exclusions from education. At a time when the nation has elected our first Black president, more African American men are losing jobs than at any time since World War II. No single group is being hit harder by the deep recession. The unemployment rate for African American men age 20 to 24 has risen 17 percent since the late 1990s. Fewer dreams are realized without a paycheck, a job or food on the table. Fami- lies are losing their homes to foreclosure at an alarming rate. In our foster care system, today in Oregon, minorities are disproportionately rep- resented.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Patricia Luann Antoine for the Master of Science in Sociology presented June 8, 1992. Title: Battle for the Boulevard APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: nr Carl J. Abbott This study explored the nature of community power and decision-making surrounding the renaming of Portland's Union Avenue in honor of the slain civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. Employing an integrated theoretical framework based on G. William Domhoff's (1967) perspective of the compatibility of c. Wright Mills' Power Elite Model (1956) and Robert A. Dahl's Pluralist Model (1961) plus Claude s. Fischer's (1982) perspective on the nature of the 2 urban social environment, this study attempted to provide insight into and understanding of the dynamics involved in the controversy that developed over the efforts to rename a street for Dr. King, the decision-making process, and the apparent motivations of the participants.
