PHOTO COURTESY OF THE OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY Bill Berry, first director o f the Portland Urban League, m eets with a Rose Festival princess in 1946. 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.
