Hill reviews years of service Anderson w as the first Black perm ited to stay in a public hotel on th e condition th at she have her m eals in her room and use the freight elevator. Blacks seek in g car insurance had to apply at the risk pool, w here the handicapped apply, and they had to pay a 20% premium. This w as the 'human relations' clim ate of which Mr. Hill w as speaking. K eeping his prom ise, Mr. Hill began doing volunteer work. In 1946. when he cam e on the Urban L eague sta ff as Job D eveloper, he found he could d evote all his tim e to social change. Things began to happen. In 1949 the session of the Oregon L egislature passed a fair em ploym ent practices law which m ade d is crimination in em ploym ent illegal in the state. In 1951 an insurance law was passed and in 1953 a public accom m oda tions law made discrim ination illegal. During this tim e the Urban League staff consisted of five members: Edward C. (Bill) Berry, John H olley, E. S h el ton Hill, and tw o secretaries. The staff today has 27 mem b e r s. in c lu d in g p a r t-tim e staff. A s it began initially in 1945, “to carry on construc tive and preventive social work am ong Blacks for im proving their social and eco nomic conditions in urban centers." so it continues to d a y , w ith p r o g r a m s lik e project O utreach, an appren ticesh ip program , and P ro je ct Star, a program working w ith the “total fam ily unit to help th e se fam ilies to assist their culturally retarded chil dren to reach their “m axi mum potential" and other program s. W ith the help of th ese program s Blacks will be able to m ove increasingly into the m ainstream of so ciety . They will be able to m ove into w hat Mr. Hill feels is the str a teg y of the Black m ove m ent in the 1970’s, the "decision m aking positions". H e pointed out th e use of politics as evid en t in the upsurge of Black m ayors in cities like D etroit, San Fran cisco, G eorgia. Los A n geles, and all over th e nation. N ow , after 27 y e a rs of service, Mr. Hill w ill retire from his position of E x ecu tiv e D irector of th e Urban L eague, but by no m eans from life. He plans to rem ain in Portland w ith his w ife, H elloise Hill, and re main involved in the com m unity. He has a daughter, E dw ina M cK inney, and a G randson, M atthew , 4 years old, in S t.

Looking back on tim e, Mr. Hill re plied, “Change has m oved at a snail's place: w e have a long w ay to go. I'm not satisfied w ith the pace." But. being able to satisfactorily an sw er that qu estion , "A fter all th is tim e, w hat do I have to account for?", E. Sh elton Hill can be assured th at the change that did occur w as w ell w orth his while.
