The first in a series of events leading up to new jazz premieres by the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble at the 10th Annual Montavilla Jazz Festival, this discussion will center Mt. Tabor Park's importance in relationship to marginalized communities. Exploring the history of the park from 1896 to present day, panelists will take a close look at the extinct volcano's significance to Portland’s Chinese, Black, and Indigenous residents. Attendees will hear from Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde member David Harrelson, PSU professor emeritus Darrell Millner, Friends of Mt. Tabor Park board member Hap Pritchard, and Seattle University professor emerita Dr. Marie Wong.
