Portland's Black History and the Bible (Part 1)

Portland has some rich Black history, but also some terrible examples of the injustice and trauma that race in America can mean. Join us as we tell some of the story in Portland, and allow the Bible to provoke us to think afresh about what to learn from this history and what it means for us now. (This is part one, catch us next week for part two of what turned out to be a long discussion!)
