Continued from Metro
Burt has touched the lives thousands
of people during his many decades
of achievement, and he’s by no
means “retired.”
As columnist for the Portland
Observer for over a decade, “The
Professor” writes weekly about the
issues of the day, often drawing from
early African and African American
history.
As a Professor at Portland State
University in the 1970s, he helped
prepare hundreds of students with
“real life” lessons in business, eco
nomics, and Black Studies courses.
Many, many Portland Public School
children - now grown - benefited
from his work with the school dis
trict. His best known publication,
B lack Inventors o f A m erica
launched a national history and re
search movement that continues to
day.

in the early days of World War II, it
I would like to take this opportu

student in one of McKinley Burt’s
classes at Portland State University,
I was impressed with not only his
knowledge but also his compassion
to assist African American students
commit themselves to excellence.
McKinley Burt has had a profound
influence upon me, my future
dreams, and my career achieve
ments. I applaud and congratulate
McKinley on making significant
contributions to the lives o f many
African Americans throughout his
many years.

meetings ..you, me and many more
