OUR EXPERIENCES

For more than 30 years, we’ve illuminated the seldom-told stories of people of African descent in Oregon through our engaging exhibits, public programs, publications, and historical research.

ABOUT US

OUR IMPACT
We are the only historical society in Oregon dedicated to telling all of these stories; our work helps to protect and preserve local cultural heritage, to fill in the gaps related to Black history in Oregon, and to demonstrate that Black people have a place and a history here.
