Celebrating Women in History 2011
Political activism of African-American women in Oregon.
The presentation by featured speaker Patricia Schechter, PhD, Associate Professor of History at Portland State University, described a broad-based effort undertaken by a number of community partners, students, and Dr. Schechter to build collections and knowledge in black women's history. It highlighted the publication of Avel Louise Gordly's memoir, Remembering the Power of Words: The Life of Oregon Activist, State legislator and Community Leader. The memoir of the first African American woman elected to the Oregon State Senate is important as a broader narrative touching on Black history, and most particularly the politics associated with being an African American woman.
