PDX Civil Rights formerly ‘Burger Barn’ is a page dedicated to community based archives of Black PDX focus.
It has been said in scholarly circles that leadership and legacy are important aspects of history. In the poorest regions of America there is a trend of urban renewal/development which disproportionately affects people who live in poverty or blighted areas. The long term effects of this type of “gentrification” as it is often called is an incredible loss of community tradition, history, and value. The opportunity to engage and educate affected communities through the outreach of this project will help them to capture and sustain some of what has been loss or taken away. It will also show the value and process of preservation, documentation and conservation. Working with professionals in the tech, education, architectural and preservation industries will allow us to create the opportunity to develop a strong curriculum which will serve as a focal asset to those who are exposed to the project as a career focus. The components of preservation along with the industries involved in the process has synergy and relativity across the S.T.E.A.M. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math is leading educators toward vocational systems, labs etc… as a way to teach millennial students.
