WHAT’S
HAPPENING
Educator and author Walidah Imarisha is coming to the
UO Campus to give a lecture titled “Why Aren’t There
More Black People in Oregon?: A Hidden History.”
Imarisha describes herself as a “historian at heart,
reporter by
(w)right and rebel by reason,” according to her website.
She has taught at Stanford University, Portland State
and Oregon State. According to her website, she also
spent six years with “Oregon Humanities’ Conversation
Project as a public scholar facilitating programs across
Oregon about Oregon Black history, alternatives to
incarceration and the history of hip hop.” Imarisha
was most recently apart of Corvallis’ We are the
Changemakers: A Conference for Women and Their
Allies, an event which took place last month. Imarisha’s
talk in Eugene will be followed with a Q&A. The event is
sponsored by the UO’s Center for the Study of Women in
Society and cosponsored by other organizations such
as the UO’s Division of Equity & Inclusion.
“Why Aren’t There More Black People in Oregon?:
A Hidden History” takes place from 3:30 to 5 pm
Thursday, Oct. 12, in the Lillis Business Complex’s
Lillis 182 Lecture Hall on the UO Campus (955 E. 13th
Avenue). The event is FREE. — Meerah Powell
