"Sting Like A Bee": Kent Ford and the Portland Black Panthers

Portland Black Panthers founding member Kent Ford shares his memories of life in Albina in 1960s-1980s, and the Party's community activism and organizing.

This story was produced by Lisa Serrano, Donovan Smith, and Mohammed Alkhadher, and is part of the Vanport Mosaic living archive of over 50 oral histories - an on-going memory activism effort facilitated by Story Midwife Laura Lo Forti.

The Vanport Mosaic is a memory activism platform that amplifies, honors, presents and preserves the many silenced histories that surround us, in order to better understand our present and create a new chapter where we all belong and thrive. www.vanportmosaic.org info@vanportmosaic.org
