Trillum now faces having its charter ter- minated effective June 30, 2019, despite the school’s request to stay open.

It also acknowledges the troubling history of inequity and oppression that the black commu- nity continues to face. “What a joy it was this morn- ing to walk in to this room in the presence of these radiant power- ful portraits, in the presence of these radiant powerful women,” said Commissioner Susheela Jayapal, who sponsored the proc- lamation. “I am so thrilled to be celebrating this year’s Black His- tory and Future Month in Mult- nomah County, with a focus on Fill Out & Send To: Attn: Subscriptions, PO Box 3137, Portland OR 97208 $45.00 for 3 months • $80.00 for 6 mo. • $125.00 for 1 year (please include check with this subscription form) Name: Telephone: Address: or email subscriptions@portlandobserver.com the arts and our local black wom- an/femme artists.” During the recent board meet- ing, the room was filled with the 24 by 30-inch portraits of “Albina Queens,’’ women from the com- munity solicited by the Portland African American Leadership Forum (PAALF) from more than 160 nominations and then photo- graphed in colorful and intricate head wraps. The head wraps signify not only a history of oppression, but also the “resiliency, resourcefulness, and creativity that black women have employed as a method of survival and self-empowerment for centuries.” Rob Lewis, the art director at the Portland creative agency, Kamp Grizzly, was the photographer on the project. The Albina Queens photo proj- ect represents a spectrum of ages, genders, and abilities. They range from Justice Adrienne Nelson of the Oregon Supreme Court, City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, and poet S. Renee Mitchell, to young girls in their mother’s arms.
