Case Summary

[This summary is temporary while we research this case.]

On December 8, 2022, twenty-six Black survivors and descendants of families whose homes were destroyed by defendants brought suit against the City of Portland.

Starting in the late 1950s and into the early 1970s, the City of Portland (the City), Prosper Portland (formerly known as the Portland Development Commission or PDC), and Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Health Center (Emanuel) acted in concert to destroy a predominately Black community and displace hundreds of families from their homes and businesses in Central Albina.
