In recognition of Black History Month, Mariah Rocker of Oregon Black Pioneers presents "Black Exclusion in Oregon." Amidst the historical backdrop of Oregon’s formation, the state grappled with Black exclusion laws, pro-slavery influence, and the free state versus slave state debate. This presentation explores these dynamics and their profound impact on Oregon’s Black community.
