The effort to expand this database continues, and they hope people will check out their African- American history website, makeoregonhistory.org, to learn more about the Oregon history they have discovered, and also to offer any recollections you may have--either your own experience as an African-American, your relationship with an African-American, even family stories you may have heard over the years.
We urge you to help them preserve this history as an essential part of Oregon's overall story.
