Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked( Oregon Public Broadcasting) The Oregon Remembrance Project partners with Oregon cities that have stopped hiding their history of hostility toward Black and other nonwhite populations and embraced a process of transforming from a "sundown" town to a "sunrise" city. When Oregon joined the Union in 1859, it did so as a "slave free" state. But only because Oregon did not want slaveholders to bring Black people into a state established as a "white Utopia." While numerous cities pockmarked the American landscape from coast to coast identified as "sundown towns" by Black Americans fleeing the hostility of the south through the Great Migration north and west, Oregon was regarded as a sundown state. Today, the Oregon Remembrance Project, through its " Sunrise Project " is doing the work of helping cities remember the inherited conditions from the past (which continue to have influence on present-day conditions and community attitudes) and engage in an educational process of transforming the former "sundown" moniker into a "sunrise" brand that welcomes and embraces a more diverse and multicultural population. The Ashland Sunrise Project is part of the growing network. Joining the Exchange are two guests: Taylor Stewart is the founder and Executive Director of the Oregon Remembrance Project. Jeff LaLande, Ph.D ., is a retired archaeologist and historian for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest after 30 years and former adjunct professor at Southern Oregon University, where he taught for 20 years.

( Farming While Black ) " Farming While Black " is a documentary film that examines the plight of Black farmers in the U.S. and showcases the efforts of Black leaders like Leah Penniman, Karen Washington, and Blain Snipstal to reclaim agricultural land and practices. The film chronicles their work in sustainable farming and food justice and highlights how these efforts are shaping a movement for revolutionary justice. Historically, Black farmers owned 14% of all American farmland in 1910, a number that has now dropped to less than 2% due to systemic racism, discriminatory policies, and land dispossession.

By offering targeted, hands-on education, Oregon’s community colleges are key to filling critical workforce gaps and supporting economic growth. According to a 2023 economic impact report from Lightcast, a national labor market analysis firm, Oregon’s community colleges generated $9.6 billion for the state economy in fiscal year 2021-22, supporting 117,970 jobs — that’s one in every 22 jobs in Oregon.

Matt Ornstein is the producer and director of the film. He joins the Exchange to discuss his film and the issues it addresses. The documentary follows Daryl Davis , an accomplished Black musician, a piano player who has played all over the world with legends like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry. He also has an unusual and controversial hobby: Daryl likes to meet and befriend members of the KKK, many of whom have never met a black person. When some of these same people decide to leave the Klan, Daryl keeps their robes and hoods — building his collection piece by piece, story by story, person by person. In "Accidental Courtesy," Daryl takes the viewer on a journey from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to Memphis, from Alabama to Ferguson, Missouri, as he recounts the entwined history of Black America and popular music. Along the way, the viewer is invited to sit in as he questions several current and former Klan leaders, as well as young Black Lives Matter activists who vehemently disagree with his tactics.
