LOCAL COLOR


As you watch this documentary jot down some notes about the African American experience in Portland / Oregon during the following eras. These will be valuable notes for your test on finals day as well as some potentially good information for adding to your "Pursuing American Ideals" essay


WWI and before   -   The Great Depression   -   WWII   -   Post WWII   -   Vanport   -   After Vanport

Describe some African American experiences in schools. Be Specific!

What does Otto Rutherford  mean by.. "We had to have a few funerals to solve the problems..."

Think about our overarching question for the year, "How has america lived up to the founding ideals of the declaration of independence" and apply it to the documentary you have just seen.
