A $1.5 million grant from the Mellon Foundation will support co-creation of courses, programs, and creative work by residents of Albina (Portland’s historically Black neighborhood) and Lewis & Clark faculty and students, to address racial justice, environmental justice, and cultural preservation. “One of the most courageous things that anyone can do is commit to learning with other people, because it requires building trust,” notes Winta Yohannes, the executive director of Albina Vision Trust. “The real opportunity is that the history, the storytelling, and the culture of the Albina district will be used to make sense of where we are today and where we want to go together.”
