Do you ever just take a moment to think about the audacity it took for the government to bulldoze the largest Black neighborhood in the state of Oregon to replace it with a bunch of off-ramps and freeways? Like, the level of brazen callous indifference to propose such a thing?

Albina One Affordable Housing gets a piece of the spotlight in a recent interview with Albina Vision Trust’s Cleo and Kayin Talton-Davis! “That's one of our biggest goals, is to reconnect the community and get back to some of our roots here in Albina.”

Great to see taking positive steps and holding highway proponents accountable. If we're going to (otherwise ill-advisedly) expand a freeway in the central city, re-seeding the historic neighborhood it once ruptured is non-negotiable.

I’m heartened to see the federal funding to advance this project reconnecting Portland’s historic Albina neighborhood. This will begin to repair past injustices, and I’ll keep pushing the city & the state so the community can maximize this space and start to right historic wrongs

For Law360, I went deep on Albina Vision, which seeks nothing less than to rebuild a neighborhood where a thriving Black community once lived.
If it succeeds, it could serve as a national model for equity-focused redevelopment.

This vision for Lower Albina is an amazing opportunity: much needed housing; a walkable community well-served by transit; and wealth-building opportunities for the Black community unjustly displaced & robbed of generational wealth. This is a win-win-win.

PDX city council has informally endorsed a plan to redevelop Lower Albina.
The plan calls for housing, business incubators and new public parks in the historically Black neighborhood, which was all but wiped out by construction of I-5 and Emanuel hospital

So pleased to see the Albina Vision Trust plan moving forward. Nothing could be better for the Rose Quarter and the lower Broadway area (including my beloved Memorial Coliseum) than high-density, sustainable place-making rooted in equity.

As we consider Dr. King bending the long arc of history toward justice, we must also recognize that the fierce urgency of positive, spiritual, just, structural, economic action has not diminished.
Let us be bold as we step forth into tomorrow and beyond.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. understood that systemic denial of fair, quality housing to Black people was and is a core element of racial injustice.
His fight was one rooted in fairness, in housing and beyond, and we will fight to afford every American the right of housing.
