June 25 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Free![](https://tillamookchamber.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Untitled-design-9.png)
Join Oregon Black Pioneers & the Museum on Thursday, July 11th at 4pm to delve into Oregon’s unique & centuries-old Black history by highlighting key individuals and events! People of African descent have lived and worked in Oregon since before the founding of the earliest English-speaking settlements. Despite this, the state’s popular narrative excludes the historic experiences of African Americans before the mid-20th century. This erasure is the result of legal and social marginalization that contributes to the ignorance of Oregon’s Black heritage, as well as influences contemporary disparities in day-to-day life.
This event is free and will be Thursday, July 11th @ 4pm.
