She says she plans to crowdfund some of the money needed through a Kick- starter page. The Bosco Milligan Foundation already has applied for a Sustainability and Community Livability grant from the Portland Development Commission to get the work underway. The vision is to install a green, sustainable soul food cart court next to the Community Unity Resource Building. Liv- ermore architects have volunteered to work on the design, which will include shrubs and greenery to shield the eating and meeting area from busy Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The possum incident is not the site’s only claim to histor- ical importance. Historian Tanya March PhD says Polk Directories show African Americans have been living and running a business at the site since at least 1906. Katherine Gray, founder of one of Portland’s Black women’s clubs, the Harriet Tubman club, lived at what was then 840 Union Ave. Her husband Harry Gray is listed as a gold miner. The couple had five children. “She was a very important figure in the Portland Commu- nity,” March said. “The women’s clubs were at the center of community activity for decades.” Katherine Gray, in particular, made a big contribution to Portland. She was vice-president of the Portland’s Colored Women’s Council in 1914, while daughter Edith, a hair- dresser, was the secretary. Gray also worked with Hattie Redmond to co-found the Colored Women’s Equal Suffrage League to campaign for the vote. Oregon Black Pioneers is working to identify historic sites in Oregon of importance to African Americans. So far, the project, Preserving Oregon’s African American Historic Places has discovered homes where Buffalo soldiers lived, churches where Black Oregonians worshipped and much more, including the site on Martin Luther King Jr. Boule- vard at Shaver Street. Anyone who knows of a site that has not been recognized should contact Oregon Black Pioneers at makeoregonhistory.org or call the pioneers at 503-540- 4063. STREET LIGHTS AND SIGNALS MANAGER SR.
