Walking Tours Highlighting Portland's Early African American History
Lisa Loving guest hosts. She speaks with Stephen Hanks about his new venture - a walking tour in downtown Portland showcasing Portland's early African American citizens who came to Portland between 1850-1899!  This is a forgotten chapter in Portland's history - people of color who were freed from slavery who came to Portland, Oregon in search for Freedom, Independence, Community, and Economic opportunity.
