DC,  I should have replied with a polite you're welcome, sorry about that.  You're welcome, I hope it helps in your studies on this subject.  Quite honestly, we don't disagree on the facts.  But I see the historical narrative as one of slow but continuous attempts by white Oregonians to overcome their racism and that story continues today.  There was a relapse during the four years of the KKK in the 20s but from what I have read, it seems to me it was more about patriotism and Americanism than mass racism.  How you see Oregon's racial history, I am not sure but I know we differ in our views and that's o.k. with me.
