Live, in-person, history programs are back at the Museum of the Oregon Territory with the Look Back Lecture series! See experts recount histories from our region, ranging from culture and community to nature and ecology. Come see the latest in our 2025 series with "Black Oregonians Outdoors" presented by Mariah Rocker.
This presentation explores the historical relationship between Black Oregonians and the outdoors, tracing a journey of exclusion, resilience, and connection to the land—from early settlement to present-day outdoor engagement and advocacy.
Oregon Black Pioneers is Oregon’s only historical society dedicated to preserving and presenting the experiences of African Americans statewide. For more than 30 years, they have illuminated the seldom-told stories of people of African descent in Oregon through their engaging exhibits, public programs, publications, and historical research.
Admission: $10 for Members, $20 for Non-Members
You can see this presentation on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at 7PM. For more information and updates, visit our website.
