* Black History in the Old Burial Ground

The Prince Project walking tour of Eastern Cemetery uncovers much of the history many of us were never taught. In the 18th century, Black Portlanders worked unnoticed to promote their Founding Fathers who were also enslavers. Their efforts were crucial in establishing the society we have even today.

The Cemetery offers an appropriate venue for this discussion. Here are buried many of the City’s enslavers. The two segregated African American sections are places to better understand and connect with our real past.

The tours are led by:

• Vana Carmona - Founder of The Prince Project
• Jeff Lyons - History docent with 10 years of tour guide experience.
