Episode: Episode 48: The Black Pioneers
Description: Black people have been oppressed for centuries. Enslaved, tortured, and exiled, and yet they still persevere. Today we talk, not about oppression, but about success and determination, of how many black pioneers of Oregon not only found acceptance, but community and home. Stories include Christopher Sewell, James Douglas, and Letitia Carson.Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_People%27s_Campaignhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_bus_boycotthttps://oregonblackpioneers...
