SUMMARY:The 4th Annual History of Black Drag in Portland - A Juneteenth and Pride Celebration  An Evening of Conversation & Performance
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:30p / Showtime: 7p\nAll ages welcome – children 12 and under are free\nBIPOC & QTBIPOC eligible for community supported ticket – includes admission and meal voucher\nemail info@racetalkspdx.com to RSVP for community supported ticket.\n\nRACE TALKS: Uniting to Break the Chains of Racism\, McMenamins History Department\, Poison Waters and local Black drag queens\, and sponsoring community partners are teaming up for a third year to present The History of Black Drag in Portland\, an intersectional Pride and Juneteenth event that explores the history and contemporary experience of Black drag in Portland\, Oregon. \nThis one-night event features an all-star panel of local drag queens followed by fabulous drag performances. We began this special forum in an effort to hold space for BIPOC folx in Portland during Pride; and close the gap of miseducation and intolerance between our BIPOC and QTBIPOC communities. In our first year\, we emphasized QTBIPOC and BIPOC in-person attendance because there are few Pride events that are centered around Black and brown queer folx in Portland.  Given the positive feedback we received from the past two years\, and the heightened ignorance and attacks on the Black\, Trans\, and Drag communities throughout our country\, we are continuing this annual celebratory event. Join us! \n\nEvent Consultants & Co-Hosts:\nLawanda Jackson\nIsaiah Esquire\nPanelists:\nKrystal Lynn Benoit\nBruce the Drag King\nCruz Daniels\nFlawless Shade\nAqua Flora\nPerformers:\nLawanda Jackson\nIsaiah Esquire\nKrystal Lynn Benoit\nCruz Daniels\nFlawless Shade\nAqua Flora\nMona Chrome\nMore information about Event Consultants & Co-Hosts\, Panelists\, and Performers here.

SUMMARY:THE BLIND SIDE
DESCRIPTION:5:30pm doors • 6:15pm intro 6:30pm movie – Q&A to follow\n$6 adults/$4 children 12 and under \n• Ticket includes personal size popcorn •\n2009 – PG-13 • Minor with guardian \nBased on the life of Michael Oher\, a Black teenager who\, in the movie\, was adopted by Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy\, a wealthy white couple in Tennessee. Michael Oher went on to become a Super Bowl-winning NFL football player famous for the film’s rags-to-riches story. \nRecent controversy over Oher’s real relationship with the Tuohy family alleges they never adopted him\, but instead made themselves conservators over his earnings\, and financially exploited Oher. \nWe will discuss how the film’s portrayal holds up today\, and how complicated issues of race\, privilege\, and white saviorism\, via adoption\, hit close to home through the Hart family tragedy of 2018.

SUMMARY:Petals and Thorns: Spoken Word as Activism
DESCRIPTION:La Toya A. Hampton\, MSW artistically known as The Poet Lady Rose brings her film Petals and Thorns: A Spoken Word Journey to the Race Talks community\, using it as the basis for discussion of how writing and spoken word has a role in both empowering and being the voice of unheard and underserved populations\, bringing awareness to societal ills\, the need for change\, and serving as a spark that challenges\, informs\, and enlightens\, while inspiring discussion\, action and activism. A panel discussion and artist talk back will take place following the film screening\, and attendees while in their breakout sessions\, will have the opportunity to create their own poem that highlights the parts of their identity that defines their purpose\, enhances their belonging to various communities and aids in their own brand of activism. \nThe short film Petals and Thorns: A Spoken Word Journey\, commissioned by Portland Playhouse as part of their Return to Wonderland 2022 short film festival\, follows the experience of a group of Black Portland teens–Nathaniel\, Aaliyah\, Alyssa and Olivia in an intensive writing and spoken word camp facilitated by La Toya A. Hampton\, MSW aka The Poet Lady Rose. Follow their journey as they go from novice writers to creating their own poetry that tells the story of living as a youth in the COVID-era\, which culminates in their triumphant first public performance. \n…this story highlights Black excellence and storytelling in a unique and captivating documentary. \n—Barr\, A. (2022\, September 23) ‘Portland Playhouse Highlights Local Artists in Film Festival’ Willamette Week.

SUMMARY:Oregon's History of White Supremacy
DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to have our February forum to discuss the legacy of white supremacy and its impact on Black Americans in Oregon. \nEach panelist brings a unique element to our American Black History conversation. To be clear\, Black History is American history and it occurs 365 days a week. Most people are not aware of the origins of Black History Month\, nor who is Carter G. Woodson\, so please do a google search on both of these subjects prior to attending our forum. \nOur panel will begin with Dr. Carmen Thompson\, who is a scholar\, historian\, and author of the book\, The Making of American Whiteness: The Formation of Race in Seventeenth- Century Virginia;  she he was recently cited by the Oregon Supreme Court (follow this link and find her citation on page 642 in the footnotes.) Given the Black exclusionary laws and whites-only origins of Oregon\, this will be a sobering reminder for anyone who believes or is unaware of Oregon’s violent\, racist history. \n \nNext\, Intisar Abioto\, a celebrated Black artist and archivist\, will share her research about Beatrice Morrow Cannady\, the first Black woman to graduate from an Oregon Law School (Northwestern Law now called Lewis and Clark Law). Ms Cannady was also an NAACP President and founding editor of the Black owned paper\, The Advocate. Many of the issues she was covering in the early 1900s in Oregon remain at issue for Black people today. Bringing this story into present day\, Ms. Abioto will share how she and her family were unsuccessful in their attempt to purchase and preserve the Cannady house; which ties to the long history of eminent domain and white supremacy in the form of bank loans as the main contributor to the severing and loss of culture and generational wealth in the Black community. \nFinally\, Kolby Ross\, a Portland native who was a recent victim of targeted white supremacist violence will share his story and the challenges he has faced in getting our local District Attorney to file charges against a known affiliated white supremacist\, who still remains free. His story brings Oregon’s violent and racist history into the present day\, along with the acknowledgement that the recent ballot initiative to remove slavery from our state constitution was barely accomplished\, Black people in Oregon continue to struggle and fight against white supremacy. \n

SUMMARY:Books + Conversations
DESCRIPTION:  \nAbout Books + Conversations\nThe RACE TALKS Books + Conversations is an opportunity to participate in a book group facilitated by RACE TALKS: Uniting the Break the Chains of Racism. In-person or virtual participation may vary based on COVID protocols. Sign-up is offered quarterly and tickets will include the purchase of that month’s featured book. Books + Conversations are partnering exclusively with Third Eye Books.  \nFor the past 11 years\, RACE TALKS has offered a monthly community program. Each month a panel\, usually comprised primarily of People of Color\, is invited to discuss “a Historical or Contemporary Experience through the lens of RACE and RACISM.” From these discussions\, we’re hoping to start a life-long dialogue between groups of people who generally talk about each other\, but not to each other.  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
