Black History Bus Tour to explore North Coast The Oregon Black Pio- neers’ Black History Bus Tour will explore the North Coast in September, stopping at sites of Afri- can American historical signifi cance. The tour, which will leave from the Charles Jor- dan Community Center in Portland on the morning of Sept. 18 and return that eve- ning, winds from Portland to Seaside and includes a series of guest speakers and fi lms on African American history in Oregon. Zachary Stocks, the exec- utive director of the Oregon Black Pioneers and an edu- cation technician at Lewis and Clark National Histor- ical Park, said he is proud the tour will resume for the fi rst time in six years. New staffi ng, increased fund- raising and partnerships allowed the organization to bring back the program. The tour includes learn- ing about Moses Williams, an ordnance sergeant and Medal of Honor recipient at Fort Stevens, as well as York, the only Black mem- ber of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, at Fort Clatsop and jazz clubs in Seaside. Stocks said Oregon Black Pioneers tries to emphasize that Black history is every- where in Oregon, not just in Portland. The tour allows the nonprofi t to share the stories of the African Amer- ican experience at the sites where they happened. For more information, go to oregonblackpioneers.org.
