Christopher’s research pieces together the story of Zilla, a Black woman who moved to Lostine, OR around 1900—a history that was lost until a quilt and a couple of index cards were uncovered in the archives of a small historical museum on the Oregon coast. Tune in July 30!

The Juneteenth holiday was born in Galveston, Texas, where the last enslaved African Amerians were made free on June 19, 1865. During WWII, Black men and women from Texas and across the South came to Oregon for jobs. They brought their traditions with them, including Juneteenth.
