The Albina Music Trust—a label/education entity that "[preserves] North Portland’s music culture with programming that documents the Black community’s oral history, archival media, and special events"—will host some of Albina's elder musicians for a live discussion. Beloved musicians including Norman Sylvester, Ural Thomas, Paul Knauls, J.W. Friday, Mel Brown, and Calvin Walker will activate memories of their upbringing and careers in the neighborhood through storytelling. Archival photography will be presented in conjunction with the conversation.
