- **Event Name**: Oregon's Black History: 450 Years in 45 Minutes
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: People of African descent have lived and worked in Oregon since before the founding of the earliest English-speaking settlements in the Americas. Despite this, the popular narrative of our state's history excludes the experiences of African Americans before the mid-20th century. This erasure is the result of historic legal and social marginalization that contributes to the ignorance of Oregon's Black heritage, as well as influences contemporary disparities in housing access, community investment, and policing. For this presentation, Oregon Black Pioneers will attempt to correct the record by highlighting key individuals and events that characterize Oregon's unique and centuries-old Black history.

More information about Oregon Black Pioneers can be found on their webpage: Oregon Black Pioneers - Preserving the History of Black Oregonians.

Free. First come, first seated. This program is supported by the Salem Public Library Foundation.

Las personas de ascendencia africana han vivido y trabajado en Oregón desde antes de la fundación de los primeros asentamientos de habla inglesa en las Américas. A pesar de esto, la narrativa popular de la historia de nuestro estado excluye las experiencias de los afroamericanos antes de mediados del siglo **. Esta eliminación es el resultado de la marginación histórica legal y social que contribuye al desconocimiento del patrimonio negro de Oregón, así como influye en las disparidades contemporáneas en el acceso a la vivienda, la inversión en la comunidad y la vigilancia policial. Para esta presentación, Oregon Black Pioneers intentará corregir el registro destacando a personas y eventos clave que caracterizan la historia negra única y centenaria de Oregón.

Gratis. Por orden de llegada. Este programa cuenta con el apoyo de la Fundación de la Biblioteca Pública de Salem.
