Walk Historic Albina with Portland Black Panther founding member Kent Ford this Black August! 
Discover how the Portland Panthers turned community power into daily acts of collective care, organizing vital community initiatives like free breakfast programs and the People’s Free Health Clinic. 

This tour takes place during Black August, an annual commemoration of the sacrifices of Black political prisoners and revolutionaries in the struggle for Black liberation.
