A Traveling Historic Exhibit
The Fair Housing Council's (FHCO's) Anywhere but Here display exhibit uses six interconnected panels consisting of photographs, text, and personal quotes to chronicle the history of housing discrimination in Oregon.
The display is available for conferences, cultural celebrations and historic remembrances, as well as for exhibition in public buildings such as schools, governmental offices, libraries, etc. Following are just a few images and captions included in the exhibit.

Before the Fair Housing Act was amended in 1988, more than 60% of the state’s rental units were off-limits to families with children |
In 1945, the Social Work Journal declared Portland the most discriminatory city north of the Mason-Dixon line. |
Oregon’s first constitution, passed in 1857, denied African-Americans the right to live in the state. |
