Program Description

Event Details

Taylor Stewart will cover the history of lynching, how we can find restorative justice, and how lynching is still a relevant topic today. During the Jim Crow era nothing sustained racial inequality quite like lynching. We, as a society, must confront this history.

Taylor Stewart graduated from University of Portland with a degree in Communication and is currently in the Master of Social Work program at Portland State University. He founded the Oregon Remembrance Project and has been working to memorialize Oregon’s only recorded victim of lynching, Alonzo Tucker, who was killed in Coos Bay.
