Join Oregon Black Pioneers to learn more about Portland's first Black ancestor. In 1805, an enslaved man named York reached what is today Portland as part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. York’s contributions helped ensure the Expedition’s success, but he received no compensation for his services and his efforts were rarely acknowledged in the two centuries that followed.
