SUMMARY:Oregon's Black History
DESCRIPTION:\nPeople 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 contribute to the ignorance of Oregon's Black heritage\, as well as 
 influence contemporary disparities in housing access\, community 
 investment\, and policing. Zachary Stocks of 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. \n\n\n\n 
  \n\n\n\nZachary Stocks is a public historian\, interpreter\, and the 
 Executive Director of Oregon Black Pioneers. Zachary previously served as 
 Program Director of Historical Seaport and Visitor Services Manager of 
 Northwest African American Museum. He is a former intern of Colonial 
 Williamsburg and Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and is a 
 current seasonal Park Ranger at Lewis & Clark National Historical Park. He 
 holds a BA in History from the College of William & Mary with a certificate 
 in Public History from the National Institute for American History and 
 Democracy\, and an MA in Museology from the University of Washington. 
 Zachary lives in Astoria\, OR. \n
