Abstract
On Sunday, April 8, 2018, local researchers gathered for a roundtable discussion at the Oregon Historical Society to present research they had uncovered about housing segregation and resistance in Portland, Oregon. Carmen P. Thompson moderated that discussion and presented to attendees an introduction to housing segregation. In this record of her presentation, Thompson documents how housing segregation in Portland, Oregon, stems from policies and practices rooted in the enslavement of people of African descent. These policies, she attests, “instituted a national racial hierarchy of white supremacy and Black inferiority.” Thompson also reflects on each of the presenters' research and draws connections to “institutional racism, Black resistance, and private citizens' silence,” during this commemoration the fiftieth anniversary of the 1968 Fair Housing Act.
