About the Oregon Black Pioneers<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our vision is to be the premier resource for Oregon\u2019s African American culture and heritage information. We aspire to preserve this largely unknown and rich heritage and culture through collections and programs that promote scholarly research and public use. We envision becoming a center for study of Oregon\u2019s African American life, heritage and culture.” OBP Website<\/a><\/p>\n

About the Exhibit and Public Programming \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Racing to Change: Oregon\u2019s Civil Rights Years<\/em> is a groundbreaking exhibit with associated public programs about the courage, struggle, and progress of Oregon\u2019s black residents during the civil rights movement in Oregon in the 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s. The exhibit will be hosted by the Oregon Historical Society January 15-June 24, 2018.<\/p>\n

The interactive exhibit will engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds as it traces how housing and employment discrimination practices affected Oregon\u2019s black populations and spurred the civil rights movement in Oregon. Through personal photos and artifacts, text, and interactive experiences, the exhibit will illuminate Oregon\u2019s vibrant black community during the civil rights era, amongst a larger cultural and legal context of discrimination and displacement.<\/p>\n
