Boise and Eliot: Local historian’s quest protects black history
Brent Wojahn/The OregonianRoy Roos says Portland’s rich African American history is reflected in the architecture of North and Northeast Portland. His second book on local architecture details the history of significant houses in Albina
Civil Rights Movement in Portland
This course will examine how the movement happened in Portland as students record oral histories from
African Americans who fought for Civil Rights in Oregon. The interviews will then be digitized and uploaded
to the Internet and students will use photographs and clips from the interviews to create a video documentary
that can be used publicly.
I am in the process of collecting oral history interviews, which will be transcribed and archived at Portland State University. Also associated with the project is a short documentary that will be shown in December and probably posted on youtube. Here are the people being interviewed this fall: Prof. Darrell Millner, Sen. Avel Gordly, Joyce Harris, Paul Knauls, Kent Ford, Percy Hampton, Michael “Chappie” Grice, Lew Frederick, Rev. W.G. Hardy, Sam Jackson, Jr., Lolenzo Poe, Rev. Alcena Boozer, Carl Deiz, Dick Bogle, Dr. Booker Lewis, Charlotte Rutherford, Ron Steen, Lurlene Shamsud-din, and Berria Brooks.
This class will probably be offered again either next summer or next fall with the purpose then of collecting more interviews and creating a website devoted to the Civil Rights Movement in Portland (modeled on Jim Greg’s Seatle Civil Rights and Labor History website).
I think that sums up everything I’m doing. Have a great day!
Sincerely,
