From 1803 Insta announcement:
Black-serving organizations across Portland are celebrating a “Black, Black History Month” this year by hosting a pop-up museum with Creative Homies at the Horizon Enterprise Building in Old Town.
We’re sponsoring the museum!
Though our work often centers Albina as the historic heart of Black life in Portland, Old Town is one of the first neighborhoods where Black folks settled in the city–the railroad brought families from out east in the late 1800s.
It’ll be a pleasure to hold space in that same neighborhood as we celebrate Black life today. This is an everyday practice in our community, but we double-down in February.
We’ve curated a host of galleries, events and film screenings that you can learn more about on the “News and Events” page on our website.

🎙️ Albina Music Trust will inaugurate our celebration with “Soul Conversation” on February 1st at 2:30 PM.
The event is a panel discussion with members of Albina’s historic music community: Ken Berry, Mel Brown, JW Friday, Paul Knauls, Norman Sylvester, and Calvin Walker; it’ll be a fitting snapshot of the spirit of Black Portland–the same spirit we’re honoring, all month long.
