Oregon entered the union as a “free state” in 1859, but its first constitution banned black people from visiting or moving into the state. In 1921, the Ku Klux Klan established itself in Oregon and soon became the largest KKK group west of the Rocky Mountains.
Japanese immigrants coming to Oregon in the 1880s sent home for brides because a state law prohibited marriage between whites and people of other races. In 1923, Oregon discriminated against Asian immigrants by enacting the Alien Land Law, which prevented non-citizens from owning land, and the Alien Business Restriction Law, which permitted municipal governments to refuse to grant business licenses to non-citizens and required non-citizens owning hotels and grocery stores to display signs declaring their nationality.
In the 1930s, Dr. DeNorval Unthank, one of Portland’s first black doctors, moved into an all-white neighborhood, only to be presented with a petition signed by 75 people against his presence. He moved after his house was repeatedly vandalized.

As Oregon celebrates its sesquicentennial, it’s important to remember the state’s seamier history, Nelson said.
“This is really an area that a lot of people don’t know much about,” he said. “When I went to school in this area in the ’60s and ’70s, these were things that were not included in the curriculum on Oregon history.”
Nelson said he will speak about how Oregon’s discriminatory history relates to the U.S. Constitution and address local history, including Southern Oregon’s unofficial “sundown laws”Source
Oregon started off on the right track but got derailed by the Zionists. Now the train is rolling straight into hell and extinction.
Somewhere a Zionist is dancing with glee at the devilment they have caused.
:]
Not to worry. Justice is coming! And HELL will be by his side.
I wonder what the Oregon Area Jewish Committee thinks about roads in Israel that are for Jews ONLY?
This is happening today, not 60 yrs. ago.
Jews do not drink from the well of ethnic diversity while forcing non-Jews to do so. IT is a poison well and they know it.
