And now with this Second Edition, more information is included that wasn’t previously available.

    Elizabeth McLagan’s work details how in spite of historic legal and social barriers, pioneering Black individuals and families persevered in Oregon and helped create the state’s modern Black communities.

    Elizabeth McLagan is a freelance writer and retired instructor at Portland Community College. She graduated with a degree in history from Oregon State University and earned an MFA in poetry from Eastern Washington University.
