50 years of focus on Black, diverse communities
The Portland Observer is celebrating its 50th anniversary with this special commemorative issue. Since its founding in 1970, the Portland Observer has reported on the
Black experience in Portland and communities of color in the state of Oregon and across the nation, inspired by local reporting, photography, columns and articles. We
invite you to enjoy looking through the pages of this special publication that showcases our work. As the state’s oldest Black-owned newspaper, the Portland Observer
plans to carry on its proud tradition and make positive differences for our diverse communities for many years to come. (See descriptions for photos above on page 14)
