Fridays in April, 12:00 - 12:45 PM
April is Fair Housing Month and the Fair Housing Council of Oregon will be hosting webinars each Friday in April on the history of fair housing. Topics include Oregon’s exclusion laws, sundown towns & the Klan, redlining & segregation, and exclusionary zoning
The webinars are FREE. The better we understand the root of the challenges we face, the better suited we are to push for change.
