Talking about #pdxprotest remember #oregon has an awful history of banning POC and refusing to ratify the 14th and 15th Amendment. It did not change its Constitution till 2002 😳😳 washingtonpost.com/news/retropoli…
“No free negro or mulatto, not residing in this State at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall ever come, reside, or be within this State, or hold any real estate, or make any contract, or maintain any suit therein; and the Legislative Assembly shall provide by...
penal laws for the removal by public officers of all such free negroes and mulattoes, and for their effectual exclusion from the State, and for the punishment of persons who shall bring them into the State, or employ or harbor them therein.”
