    This show is running on PBS here right now. It was run for the first time in 1999.

    "This documentary chronicles the little known history of racism in Oregon and the moving story of people, both black and white, who worked for civil rights. There are moments of highly disturbing racism in a state not known for diversity. But there are
    also moments of inspiration and courage as people take a stand to bring about important change."

    I don't know what's going on now, but back in the day high school students learned a bit about Oregon's constitution and exclusion laws. Even in 1999 Oregon's historic racism was hard to miss unless you're weren't paying any attention to the
    history around you.
