November 21: Portland, OR - Book Talk: Breaking Chains: Slavery on Trial in the Oregon Territory #MCLE

R. Gregory Nokes

Please join us for a book talk about the powerful story of Missouri slaves Robin and Polly Holmes, and their children, who were brought to Oregon by their owner over the Oregon Trail in 1844, expecting to soon be freed in a region closed to slavery. But slaveholder Nathaniel Ford, destined to become an influential Oregon legislator, ignored the law and keeps them in bondage. Author R. Gregory Nokes will discuss the landmark 1853 case Holmes vs. Ford, which re-affirmed the banning of slavery in the Oregon Territory.
