Chinatown/Old Town Tour Sept 15
While today Portland is known as one of the whitest cities in the U.S., its multicultural and immigrant history is rich and storied. Old Town/ Chinatown shows the challenges faced by Portland's ethnic communities, as well as their many contributions to the city's economy, industry and culture. Topics covered by this tour include Portland's first African American community, Japan Town, Chinatown and more. Focusing on the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, this tour charts Portland's urban development, and how these transformations created the city we know today.
