May 30th, 2017: A Day To Remember
On May 30th, 2017 The Vanport Mosaic traveled to Oregon State Capitol to be part of an historical moment!
The Oregon State Senate unanimously voted on Senate Concurrent Resolution 21 to officially commemorate the anniversary of the Vanport flood and remember its survivors and the people who lost their lives. We are grateful to Senator Jackie Winters, who lived in Vanport and survived the flood, and House Speaker Tina Kotek, whose district includes the area where Vanport once was, for sponsoring this resolution.
Watch a few clips from the moving day:
