RtR Community,
RtR Executive Director Bruce Poinsette has penned a new essay for The Mercury’s special insert, BlackOut: A Five-Year Retrospective on Portland’s Racial Justice Movement. In The Lesson he reflects on what
changes he has seen (or not seen) in Lake Oswego as he navigated the ebb and flow of activism and commitment and and his own family’s loss over the last few years.
BlackOut: A Five-Year Retrospective on Portland’s Racial Justice
Movement [is] a joint publication from Donovan Scribes and the Portland Mercury. Written exclusively by Black Portlanders, the purpose of BlackOut is to remember and reflect on the May 25, 2020 murder of George Floyd at the hands of police, and the 100+ days of protests in Portland that same year. –Editors note about the new insert to the Mercury newspaper
Pick up a copy of the Mercury at one of 500 locations in the Portland metro area. The insert is featured in the food edition of the newspaper. Or, stop by and see us June 1 at Lake Oswego Pride. Respond to Racism will be present and we
