Portland’s Compromise: The Colored School 1867-1872

This work was motivated by school integration efforts in the late 1970s in Portland, Oregon, and revealed that racially-motivated educational decisions were not new to Portland (as they were not to other cities across the nation). Previously unexamined school documents were explored as was census data.
