Conversation Project: Power, Privilege, and Racial Diversity in Oregon

October 29, 2018 | 1:00 p.m. | Portland Community College - Rock Creek

17705 NW Springville Rd., Portland OR 97229

Although Census data show Oregon’s population becoming more racially diverse, the state remains one of the whitest in the nation. Many Oregonians value racial diversity and the dimension and depth it adds to our lives, yet we remain largely isolated from one another and have yet to fulfill the vision of a racially integrated society. Willamette University professor Emily Drew will lead participants in a conversation about the challenges to creating racially diverse, inclusive communities despite the accomplishments since the civil rights era. What does the racial integration of place require of us, and how might we prepare to create and embrace this opportunity? Read more.

This event will take place at the Rock Creek Event Center, Section A.
