Civil Rights and Anti Black Violence in America and Oregon

Presented by Dr. Darrell Millner and Dr. Jason Morgan Ward. Recorded on April 13, 2018 at the Oregon Historical Society in Portland, Oregon. Racial violence was particularly significant in the nationalization of civil rights, as evidenced by the creation of the NAACP in the wake of northern migration and the racial violence that ensued in the first decade of the twentieth century. That process of violence, migration, and organization connects places such as Mississippi and Oregon, and telling stories about this violence — whether it occurred in Mississippi or in Marshfield, Oregon — linked Black communities and fueled the rise of a national civil rights movement. Join us for a discussion between historians working in two corners of the country, as they explore the ways violence and storytelling have connected those places to the national movement for equality.
