What Happened to the Black "C.C.C." enrollees in Southern Oregon? (Windows In Time)

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the federal government’s Civilian Conservation Corps started out as a racially integrated program (at least in much of the country). Black enrollees arrived in southern Oregon to work on various forestry projects alongside their White fellow-CCC recruits. In many places across the nation, Black CCC men were made to feel unwelcome in rural communities, and the experiment with racial integration did not last out the first year of the CCC’s nine-year existence. Archaeologist, historian, and writer Jeff LaLande shares the results of his research into this little-known aspect of our region’s history. The monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people, values, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services.
