Fighting for Justice
Urban League takes on
segregation and disparities
The Portland Urban League
w as established in 1945 during
a tim e o f racial strain betw een
P o rtla n d 's black and white
communities.
B eginning in 1941, blacks
began stream ing to the city to
jo in the wartim e industrial
workforce. Between 1941 and
1943, P ortland's black popu
lation grew from 2,()(X) to over
2 0 ,0 0 0 residents. Despite war
tim e fair-em ploym ent laws,
Portland, and Oregon, retained
their reputation for hostile race
relations with a legacy o f anti
black legislation and discrim i
nation in state and local unions
and through employment laws
that limited the ability for blacks
to secure m iddle- and higher-
incom e jobs.
U n d er the leadership o f
Portland'sfirst black physician.
Dr. D eN orval U nthank, the
N ational U rban League, with
its hub in New York City,
opened a Portland C hapter in
April 1945. Shortly thereafter,
Edw in C. “ B ill” Berry was
nam ed the Portland C hapter's
first director.
The challenges facing Berry
and the new ly established Ur
ban League w ere many: Port
land remained a segregated city
w here "W hite Trade O n ly ”
signs were frequently posted in
business w indow s and restau
rants. D ow ntow n hotels still
refused to serve blacks, and
the Portland Real Estate Board
m andated agents not sell to in
dividuals whose race would “be
determ ined to low er property
values in that neighborhood.”
T he jo b m arket rem ained
staunchly opposed to adm it
ting blacks into m ost middle-
income and w hite-collar jobs.
U nder Berry ' s leadership, the
Urban L eague took aim at the
jo b m arket, then at housing,
education, and even racial dis
tortions and discrim ination in
the new s media.
Since its inception, the Port
land U rban League and Port
lan d ra c e re la tio n s have
changed greatly. Segregation
no longer dom inates the civil-
rights agenda, discrimination in
housi ng standards i s i I legal, and
blacksholdcareersatall levels
o f the econom ic spectrum.
At the same ti me, economic
disparity betw een predom i
nantly white and predominantly
black n e ig h b o rh o o d s and
schools still afflict the city and
its residents. The Urban League
remains committed toaddress-
i ng these and other issues with
afocuson improving education
and economic self-sufficiency
among African Americans.
