SUMMARY:Oregon’s First Black Community: Jackson County\, 1850–1900

Riverside Ave.\nMedford\, Oregon 97501 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe earliest sustained community of African Americans in Oregon was not in Salem or Portland\, but in Jacksonville. At the time of statehood\, Jackson County’s Black population was more than that of Multnomah and Marion counties combined. Zachary Stocks of Oregon Black Pioneers will share information about the rise and fall of this first Black community in Oregon\, and discuss some of Southern Oregon’s nineteenth-century Black residents. \n\nThis program is offered as the keynote lecture for the 46th annual meeting of the Jefferson Historical Group\, which is composed of archeologists\, historians\, museum and library professionals\, students\, and other stakeholders from northern California and southern Oregon. The group meets each year to share ideas and information from across the “Mythical State of Jefferson” and is not affiliated with the modern political movement of the same name. \nLearn More \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZachary Stocks is a public historian\, interpreter\, and the Executive Director of Oregon Black Pioneers.
