Oregon Black Pioneers Exhibit at Four Rivers Cultural Center

January 15, 2025 - February 28, 2025

Oregon Black Pioneers Exhibit at Four Rivers Cultural Center

The public is invited to view the Oregon Black Pioneers Exhibit at the Four Rivers Cultural Center and Museum. The exhibit will be available in the Harano Gallery from January 15- February 28, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Between 1840 and 1870, Oregon’s provisional and territorial governments passed laws excluding Black people from rights afforded to white settlers. Despite this, a small number of Black Americans settled or remained in Oregon, challenging the discriminatory laws and laying the foundation for the state’s future Black communities. This exhibit highlights some of those Black pioneers who risked everything to build a better life for themselves and their families in Oregon.
