BLACK OREGONIANS OUTDOORS
This presentation explores the historical relationship between Black Oregonians and the outdoors, tracing a journey of exclusion, resilience, and connection to the land—from early settlement to present-day outdoor engagement and advocacy.
Oregon Black Pioneers is Oregon’s only historical society dedicated to preserving and presenting the experiences of African Americans statewide. For more than 30 years, they have illuminated the seldom-told stories of people of African descent in Oregon through their engaging exhibits, public programs, publications, and historical research.
