Chehalem Cultural Center hosts conversation on Oregon’s history with race Thursday

Have you ever wondered why the Black population in Oregon is so small? Oregon has a history not only of Black exclusion and discrimination, but also of a vibrant Black culture that helped sustain many communities throughout the state – a history that is not taught in schools.

Join our free conversation with Portland State University author and adjunct professor Walidah Imarisha at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St., Newberg), sponsored by Oregon Humanities’ statewide Conversation Project.

Thursday, Jan. 15, at 7 pm. FREE
