1970’s:
Portland citizens march against police brutality. Between October 1974 and March1975, four black men were shot and killed by the Portland police. "For years black people in the Albina area have been bullied and victimized by our socalled law-men...It seems as if any time a police gets the urge to punch something, they snatch the first available black man they see, and use him to satisfy their savage egos."
-Rachel James, Albina Resident (1974)
