More than forty years after its original publication, A Peculiar Paradise: A History of Blacks in Oregon, 1788–1940, remains the most comprehensive chronology of Black life in Oregon. A longtime resource for those seeking information on the legal and social barriers faced by people of African descent in Oregon, the book is once again available through Oregon State University Press and Oregon Black Pioneers, Oregon’s statewide African American historical society. Join us for the official book launch, hosted by Third Eye Books Accessories and Gifts, Portland’s only black-owned bookstore. The author, Elizabeth McLagan, and Zachary Stocks from Oregon Black Pioneers will talk about the long and ongoing journey of this important work.
