SUMMARY:Roots of Strength: A Journey Through Black History in Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:A family-friendly celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the Bend Colored Men’s Business Club.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Father’s Group\, COCC Afrocentric Program\, WeBlack Radio\, and Central Oregon Earthseeds invite the community to a free family-friendly\, interactive\, and educational celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the Bend Colored Men’s Business Club. Participants will immerse themselves in the stories of the founding members of the Club as well as the Black leaders at the helm of early social justice movement organizing –Reverend J.W. Anderson and Beatrice Morrow Cannady– who came from Portland to connect with and support local Central Oregon leadership and educate white folks in the community. We will trace the roots of our local Black community a century ago to the branches of activism and the progress of racial equity that we see in Central Oregon today. \nThis event is a collaboration between Black leaders from The Father’s Group\, COCC Afrocentric Program\, WeBlack Radio\, and Central Oregon Earthseeds and in partnership with Allyship in Action and the Deschutes County Historical Society\, with support from the St. Charles Belonging Grant and the Bend Genealogical Society. \nQuestions?
