Since 1945 the Urban League of Portland (ULPDX)\u00a0has\u00a0advocated for, served and empowered African Americans and other Oregonians to create an equitable place to work and live. The organization provides various community services like the Multicultural Senior Center, educational services like the Whitney Young Jr\u00a0Learning Center, and job placement services\u00a0via career fairs and trainings…and these are just a\u00a0few of the social and civil rights services the\u00a0“empowerment organization” provides.<\/p>\n

Last night the OMA attended the annual Urban League of Portland\u00a0Equal Opportunity Day Dinner and we created a display for the occasion!<\/p>\n

Here are a few close up pictures:<\/p>\n

The OMA acquired the Urban League records several years ago and we are working hard to make as much of this collection available online so that more people can access the amazing materials…<\/p>\n

Just over 480 photographs have been digitized so far as well as dozens of textual documents, including the organization’s Meeting Minutes; quick link “Urban League of Portland”<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course not everything is available online yet but you can find out more on the Urban League of Portland Online Collection<\/a><\/p>\n

The Equal Opportunity Day Dinner was a great event –\u00a0we are so glad that we were able to attend and look forward to more Urban League events!<\/p>\n

Until then, here are some pictures of the event itself and the event\u00a0program:<\/p>\n
