👉 Did you know the Fair Housing Council of Oregon has a portable, museum-quality display?

🏡 The “Anywhere but Here: The History of Housing Discrimination in Oregon” is an exhibit documenting Oregon’s largely unknown history of discrimination, segregation, and displacement, as well as the progress we’ve made in overcoming this history.

🏫 It's the perfect educational opportunity to bring to conferences, cultural celebrations, government buildings, local museums, colleges, libraries, and other venues throughout Oregon.

🚗 Want to bring the display to your location? Contact us at [email protected] or by visiting our website!

TODAY IN HISTORY

Nov 4th 1890. Benjamin Tillman, a white supremist who advocated for violence against Black voters and opposed education for African Americans is elected Governor of South Carolina. Tillman served as Governor of South Carolina from 1890 to 1894, and as United States Senator from 1895 to 1918.

Tillman was also instrumental in the opening of Clemson University, securing the state's acceptance of Clemson's bequest and becoming one of the original seven successor trustees. In 1895, during his service as a Senator, he became known as "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman, after becoming the ring leader of the convention that would wipe out the reforms of the 1868 Constitution.
